RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement (contract) with BKF Engineers (BKF), in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to provide on-call transportation engineering services for the period July 9, 2019 through July 9, 2022, Countywide. (Project No. Various) (All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this on-call contract is funded by developer fees, local road funds for road projects, and various other funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County that require transportation engineering expertise for road projects. After a solicitation process that included public outreach, BKF was selected as one of five firms to provide transportation engineering services on an on-call basis. The Consultant will be used to provide transportation engineering services as in-house expertise is not available. This on-call contract will be in effect for thirty-six months.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Government Code Section 31000 and 4525 authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of transportation engineering that BKF provides.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there is possible delay in completing projects requiring transportation engineering services. Executing this contract will facilitate the process of design and planning for various Public Works projects requiring transportation engineering expertise.
