CC: Jill Thomas, Management Analyst II Nasser Abbaszadeh, Engineering & Building Director San Juan Capistrano: Preserving the Past to Enhance the Future 0 0 10/17/2006 AGENDA REPORT D 6 TO: Dave Adams, City Manager FROM: Nasser Abbaszadeh, Director of Engineering and Building SUBJECT: Consideration of Master Personal Services Agreements for Engineering, Building, and Architectural Services By motion, approve 35 consultant service agreements to perform and execute Engineering, Building, and Architectural Services including building and engineering plan check services for a three (3) year term with the option of two (2) one-year extensions, not to exceed $50,000 per project proposal, per year. A. Summary and Recommendation The concept of a master consultant listing of prequalified firms was originally introduced in 1992 and, to date, has worked very well. It was created as a means to improve service delivery for resident and developer plan check, as well as environmental, traffic studies, inspection services and temporary staffing. The concept has proven successful, resulting in improved efficiency. Our current contracts expire on December 31, 2006. Therefore, staff has solicited proposals and is requesting that 35 firms be recommended for a new three-year contract with the option of two one-year extensions. B. Background 1. History In 1992, City Council approved the concept of creating a plan check consultant team consisting of a select group of consultants. The team concept creates a long- term contract with each consultant. The purpose of the team concept is to have available consultants with pre -approved contracts and insurance in place and ready to go to work. The team concept allows staff to expeditiously process all consultant plan checking. In addition, the plan check team agreements required that they perform their services at a specified percentage of the City's fees. All consultants agree to a fee not to exceed 65% or 80%, depending upon the type of plan check. In many instances, the fees are negotiated lower, especially on larger projects. Upon expiration of the initial five year term, and having had a positive experience with this concept, the master listing was reviewed, updated, and again brought to Council for approval in 1997. Design services were added to the listing in 1997, in addition to plan check services. 0 SE) is Report October 17, 2006 2 _ In December2001, City Council again approved agreements with a selected group of consultants for plan check and design services. These agreements will expire December 31, 2006. 2. Selection Process A Request for Proposals was sent to 46 firms. Many of these firms were on the pre -approved list, with others added at staff members request. Of the 46 firms, 35 responded with proposals. The proposals included general engineering and building firms, as well as a number of specialty companies. The specialty companies include areas such as geotechnical, traffic, building structural, and water quality services. A review team consisting of the Department Director, Administrative Assistant, and Engineering and Building Project Managers reviewed the proposals for the following elements: • Consistency with the scope of work • Ability to meet schedules • Past performance of similar work • Individual(s) specified to work on projects • Ability to meet fee requirements • Qualifications of firm in handling required work Staff believes that all 35 firms qualify based on the above criteria. As this is a three- year contract with two one-year extensions, there is no need to narrow the field. Staff prefers to spread projects among the teams as work becomes available. This provides more flexibility and allows work to be performed in a more efficient and timely manner. Attachment 1 provides a list of consultants defined by their area of expertise. 3. Process Plan Check Services are to be performed at a not -to -exceed fee based on a fixed percentage of the City's calculated plan check cost. This eliminates the need to negotiate fees and allows staff to select a consultant and request they perform the work at the agreed upon price. No time is wasted with costly proposals, reviews, and fee negotiations. Design and miscellaneous services not covered by fee recovery, such as design for a City capital improvement project, will continue to require that staff solicit proposals from at least three members of the team. Proposals will then be evaluated and followed by consultant selection. If the fee exceeds the $50,000 limit established under the master contract, it will be forwarded to City Council for review and approval. However, no new personal service agreements will be required, nor will insurance certifications cause delays, as they will already be in place. 0 0 Agenda Report October 17, 2006 • Page 3 COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW, RECOMMENDATIONS 0 N/A FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS Costs for plan check services will be fully funded from engineering and building fees. Design services would be funded from approved capital improvement projects. Based on fees projected to be collected, a budget for consultant services is developed annually to cover the costs of these contracts. N/A By motion, approve 35 consultant service agreements to perform and execute Engineering, Building, and Architectural Services including building and engineering plan check services for a three (3) year term with the option of two (2) one-year extensions, not to exceed $50,000 per project proposal, per year.
