Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving Department of Transportation (DOT) Agreement Number (No.) 160048 in the amount of $240,000, for professional geotechnical engineering services with Crawford & Associates, Inc., for the 2016 Quadrennial Geotechnical Support Agreement, and authorize the Director of Transportation to sign any and all amendments to the agreement not to exceed $30,000 (County-Wide); and authorize Chair to sign same.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On October 18, 2011, the Board approved DOT Agreement No. 110062 for on-call Geotechnical Engineering Services with Taber Consultants. On March 25, 2014 the Board approved DOT Agreement No. 130072 for on-call Geotechnical Engineering Services with Taber Consultants. These Agreements have since expired.
Summary of Request:
During the four-year period of DOT Agreement No. 160048, projects with geotechnical factors are expected to arise. Mendocino County Department of Transportation (MCDoT) does not have staff with specialized abilities to address these complicated geotechnical problems and requires the services of geotechnical engineering firms to provide specialized geotechnical support services. As required by federal funding sources, MCDoT 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). MCDoT staff reviewed and ranked seven proposals and selected Crawford & Associates, Inc., as the most qualified. DOT Agreement No. 160048 with Crawford & Associates, Inc., will provide on-call geotechnical engineering services until December 31, 2020, for a “not to exceed” price of $240,000. Under DOT Agreement No. 160048, MCDoT will authorize work on a case-by-case basis by work order for the specialized geotechnical support services needed for the project. MCDoT also believes it is prudent for the Board of Supervisors to authorize the Director of Transportation to execute amendments to DOT Agreement No. 160048 not to exceed $30,000, for timely completion of unanticipated work as may be required.
Alternative Action/Motion:
An alternative would be to postpone or cancel approval of the agreement.
