Title
Construction Oversight of the Former Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation Project (NB)
Staff recommends approval of the final ranking of the engineering firms and authorization to negotiate a contract in accordance with the Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA) for engineering construction oversight of the former Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation Project.
Explanation
GRU requires the services of a construction oversight firm to provide daily site observation and reporting of the Manufactured Gas Plant remediation field work which is scheduled to begin in late spring/early summer 2009.
Utilities Purchasing issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) to six engineering firms and posted the request on the web site. Five firms submitted Statements of Qualifications which were ranked in order of preference as follows:
Focus Environmental, Inc.
Burns & McDonnell Engineering Co.
Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc.
In accordance with the CCNA, staff is recommending initiating contract negotiations with the top ranked firm. If staff is unable to negotiate an acceptable contract with the top ranked firm, it may initiate negotiations with the next firm in order of ranking.
Recommendations
The City Commission: 1) approve the ranking of engineering firms in the given order of preference for the engineering construction oversight of the former Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation Project; 2) authorize the General Manager, or his designee, to initiate contract negotiations with the top ranked firm in accordance with the CCNA; and 3) authorize the General Manager, or his designee, upon successful negotiations, to execute a contract with the top ranked firm, subject to approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality, in an amount not to exceed budgeted amounts for the project.
Fiscal Note
Funding for this request is included in the Utility Capital Improvements budget.
