Summary of Request

During the three-year period of DOT Agreement No. 230025, projects requiring the development of construction documents and planning documents for airport development projects are expected to arise.  Mendocino County DOT does not have staff with specialized abilities to address the specific requirements of aviation projects.  As required by federal funding sources, DOT conducted a Qualifications-Based Selection for professional services (Brooks Act).  This process also meets state requirements under Sections 4525 through 4529.5 of the Government Code (popularly known as the Mini-Brooks Act).  DOT staff reviewed and ranked three proposals and selected Mead & Hunt, Inc., as the most qualified.  This agreement will provide professional aviation engineering and consulting services until June 30, 2026, for a “not to exceed” amount of $2,315,000.  DOT will authorize work on a case-by-case basis by work order for the specialized support services needed for each project. The majority of these funds will be reimbursed through FAA grants, with approximately $15,000 per fiscal year for non-reimbursable work such as updating the Capital Improvement Plan and dealing with emergency projects. DOT also believes it is prudent for the Board of Supervisors to authorize the Director of Transportation to execute amendments to DOT Agreement No. 230025 not to exceed $30,000 ($10,000 per year), for timely completion of unanticipated work as may be required.
