THE CITY OF G pL��S�4NTONo CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT June 4, 2013 Community Development Engineering Division TITLE: APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS FOR ON-CALL GEOTECHNICAL AND MATERIAL TESTING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITH THE FIRMS OF ENGEO INCORPORATED, GEOCON CONSULTANTS, INC., AND BSK ASSOCIATES SUMMARY The City has a need for geotechnical engineering and material testing professional services for various projects. City staff advertised to receive Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for these specialized services in February 2013. We received and reviewed 15 SOQs from respondent firms and invited the top six for interviews. Based on the firms' qualifications, interview performances, and responses to inquiries of provided references, staff recommends that the City Council award contracts to three firms; ENGEO Incorporated, Geocon Consultants, Inc. and BSK Associates. The contracts would be for services between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2016 for a total, aggregate not- to-exceed amount of $500,000. Although the recommended aggregate not-to-exceed amount is $500,000 over three years, there is no guaranteed amount of work to any of the three firms, and there is no guarantee that the $500,000 amount will be expended over the contract period. Work will be assigned based solely upon recognized need. RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve professional services contracts with ENGEO Incorporated, Geocon Consultants, Inc. and BSK Associates to provide on-call geotechnical and material testing services in the total aggregate amount not-to-exceed $500,000 between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2016. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached contracts. FINANCIAL STATEMENT No additional funding is needed to approve these consultant contracts. Funding for these contracts is budgeted under each individual Capital Improvement Program project approved by the City Council. •
