RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement (contract) with KCM Engineering, Inc., dba Knight CM Group, in an amount not to exceed $1,554,737 to provide construction management services for the Marsh Creek Road Bridges Replacement Project, for the period July 26, 2022, through December 31, 2024, Clayton and Brentwood areas. (Project No. 0662-6R4083; Federal Project No. BRLS-5928(125)) (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this contract will be funded by 79% Highway Bridge Program Grant Funds, 20% Local Road Funds, and 1% East County Area of Benefit Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The project will construct two new bridges and roadway improvements along Marsh Creek Road over Marsh Creek. Existing Bridge #28C-143, with nearest address 16711 Marsh Creek Road in the Clayton area, will be replaced with new Bridge #28C-519. Existing Bridge #28C-145, approximately 0.2 miles west of the intersection of Camino Diablo in the Brentwood area, will be replaced with new Bridge #28C-520. The existing bridges will be demolished and the new bridges will be constructed. Roadway approaches will be reconstructed, up to approximately 1,000 ft. away from the bridge, including drainage and traffic improvements.

KCM Engineering, Inc. dba Knight CM Group was selected to provide construction review management services for the project after completing a request for proposal solicitation and technical proposal review process. Public Works has successfully negotiated with KCM Engineering, Inc. dba Knight CM Group to provide the construction management services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, this Consulting Services Agreement will not be in effect. A delay in construction of the Project will occur, ultimately delaying the completion of the Project. Project delay may also result in substantial additional project costs and jeopardize the funding.
