RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with Park Engineering, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $350,000 for on-call construction management services for the period September 7, 2021 through September 30, 2024, Countywide. (Project No.: Various) (All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this on-call Consulting Services Agreement is 100% funded by Developer Fees and Local, State and Federal funds for Local Road, Flood Control, and Airport Projects. (100% Various Funds)

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County that require construction management services for road, flood control, and airport projects. After a solicitation process, this firm was selected as one of the seven firms to provide construction management services on an “on-call” basis. The Consultant will augment Public Works staff on an as-needed basis. They will be used as an extension of Public Works staff during busy times when extra help is needed or when in-house expertise is not available. This on-call Consulting Services Agreement will be in effect for three years.

Government Code Section 31000 and 4525 authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of construction management that Park Engineering, Inc. provides.

This contract includes services provided by represented classifications and the County has met its obligations with the respective labor partner(s).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, this Consulting Services Agreement will not be in effect. A possible delay in completing projects requiring construction management services will occur. Executing this Consulting Services Agreement will facilitate the process of design and construction for various Public Works projects requiring construction management expertise.
