June 2, 2015 Community Development Engineering Division TITLE: APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS FOR ON-CALL GENERAL ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES WITH THE FIRMS OF DOUGHERTY + DOUGHERTY ARCHITECTS, LLP. AND ATI ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SUMMARY The City has a need for general architectural services for various projects. City staff advertised to receive Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for these specialized services in March 2015. Staff received and reviewed eight SOQs from respondent firms and invited the top four 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 two firms: Dougherty + Dougherty Architects, LLP and ATI Architects and Engineers. The contracts cover services between June 2, 2015 and June 30, 2018 for a total, aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $250,000. Although the recommended aggregate not-to-exceed amount is $250,000 over three years, there is no guaranteed amount of work to either of the two firms, and there is no guarantee that the $250,000 amount will be expended over the contract period. Work will be assigned based solely upon recognized need. RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve professional services contracts with Dougherty + Dougherty Architects, LLP and ATI Architects and Engineers to provide on-call general architectural services in the total aggregate amount not-to-exceed $250,000 between June 2, 2015 and June 30, 2018. 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 (CIP) project and each renovation project budget approved by the City Council.
