Adoption of Resolution Approving Department of Transportation Agreement Number 170056 with SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc., in the Amount of $250,000 for Professional Environmental Services for the 2018 Quadrennial Environmental Service Biological Investigation Agreement, and Authorizing the Director of Transportation to Sign any and all Amendments to the Agreement Not to Exceed $30,000 (County-Wide)

Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving Department of Transportation (DOT) Agreement Number (No.) 170056 in the amount of $250,000 for professional environmental services with SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc., for the 2018 Quadrennial Environmental Service Biological Investigation 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:
None.
Summary of Request:
During the four-year period of DOT Agreement No. 170056, projects with environmental and biological factors are expected to arise. Mendocino County DOT does not have staff with specialized abilities to address these complicated environmental and biological problems and requires the services of environmental firms to provide specialized environmental 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 eight proposals and selected SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc., as the most qualified. DOT Agreement No. 170056 with SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc., will provide on-call environmental and biological investigation services until December 31, 2021, for a “not to exceed” price of $250,000. Under DOT Agreement No. 170056, MCDoT will authorize work on a case-by-case basis by work order for the specialized environmental and biological 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. 170056 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.
