Title
Extension of Surveying/Mapping Services Agreement (NB)
Explanation
On September 24, 2001, the City Commission approved the ranking of George F. Young, Inc. and Eng, Denman and Associates, Inc. as the top ranked firms under a Request for Statement of Qualifications and authorized the General Manager to negotiate and execute agreements for surveying and mapping services for a three and one-half year period. The recommended extension is the first of two available under the agreements.
Surveying work is assigned to the firms based on their expertise, past experience on a particular job and the ability of the firm to meet project deadlines. In addition, GRU will continue to use small firms and/or the surveyors of record for projects with costs below the CCNA threshold when it is in its best interest.
Recommendations
The City Commission: 1) authorize the General Manager or his designee to negotiate and execute Amendments to the Professional Services Agreements with Eng, Denman & Associates, Inc. and George F. Young, Inc. extending the term of the surveying and mapping services agreements through March 31, 2006, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality; and 2) approve the issuance of purchase orders to the firms in total amounts not to exceed budgeted amounts for these services, subject to the final appropriation of funds for FY 2006.
Fiscal Note
Funding for this request is included in the Operations and Maintenance and Capital Budgets for FY 2005 and will be requested in FY 2006.
