SUBJECT: Approval of Consulting Engineering Service Agreement on an As- Needed Basis for Overflow' Services in the Public WO,Tks Department Report Prepared by: Lee Thompso~ Public Works Director \ EXHIBITS ATfACHED: 1) 2)\ Resolution Five Consulting Engineering Service Agreements RECOMMENDATION:y Adopt resolution approving 1996.98 Consulting Engineering Service , Agreements for: , . Kleinfelder (Soils) - . Berlogar Geotechnical (Soils) . BSK & Associat~s (Soils) . Omni Means (Traffic) . Wilbur Smith & Associates (Traffic) and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements. FlNANCIAL STATEMENT: All charges are to be funded. through direct developer fees for development applications. Consultant services will be budgeted in the 1996-97 budget as anticipated. Contract amounts for consultant engineering services are not to, exceed $50,000 per year for'soils and $100,000 per year for traffic studies. Contracts will be for a two year tenn. DESCRIPTION: With the acceleration of new development projects in both Western and Eastern Dublin, the Public Works Department has contracted with numerous outside consulting finns on.a:project by project basis. Anticipated workloads over the next few years dictate that this Department retain ongoing consultant firms to handle overflow work in the areas of soils engineering and traffic impact studies. . \ Staff time constraints and! the desire of the City Council to move projects expeditiously will make it necessary to contract for outside engineering services. When these services are needed, Staffwill choose one of the consultants to perfonn the work. Staff is recommending the five listed consultants based on the ,following criteria: ' ------------------------------------------------------~------------ COPIES TO: ITEM No:M g: \ageJUDi.c:\csltagre · Knowledge in the range of needed services · Ability to respond in a timely fashion · Track records ~f working effectively with City staff · Knowledge of development issues in growth areas · Willing to worK on an "as needed basis" on short notice 4 .'.:. , - The primary function of the Soil Engineers will be to perform peer reviews of soil and geologic studies submitted to the City for private development projects. Additional duties may include field investigations, testing and inspection along with reviews of grading plans. These consultants have a proven track records of sound work on projects common to Dublin (large scale Planned Developments, Subdivisions, Site Development Reviews). This peer review process will be implemented through conditions of approval for each project. - - . . As directed by the City Council at the April 9, 1996, meeting as part of the eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee study, Staff proposes to modify the method in which traffic studies are provided to the City. In the past, developers hired traffic enginejrs to conduct traffic studies for their individual projects. Staff, in turn, reviewed the scope and conclusions of the report. If the scope of the report was inadequate, additional studies were done. Staff proposes that the traffic engineer be hired by the City and paid for through developer deposits. Staffwill define the scope of the traffic study and choose one of the three available traffic engineering firms on contract to do the study (TJKM, who is already under contract, being the third). This process will be implemented through conditions of approval for each project. It is important to note that each of these contracts contains provisions that the consultant will only perform work on a time and exp:ns.e basis at the direc~ion of the Public Works. Dir~ctor. No work will be ~one .~.':" WIthout expressed permIssIon and all costs WIll be charged to the Engmeenng Department budget m .' :>.-'-: accordance with costs associated with that project. ': - ' Public Works staff will request a not-to-exceed fee for each specific project from the consultants. Staff will choose the consultant based on experience within the project area, availability, and the reasonableness of the consultant fee. The City is currently under contract with TJKM. The remaining consultant contracts have been forwarded to the City Clerk's office. SUMMARY: Again, as noted earlier, no work will be done or (nnds expended unless funding is available and it has been determined that outside help is needed to meet a specific time objective. The standard consulting engineering services agreement has been'reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The hiring o-f these consultants are in accordance with section 2.36.050 or the Dublin Municipal Code. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the Consulting Engineering Services agreements for the three listed soils and two listed traffic engineering consultants. .-. . .....
