Y. Lin International; GHD Inc.; Moffatt & Nichol; JMDiaz, Inc.; NV5, Inc.; EXP U.S. Services Inc.; and Glenn A. Rick Engineering and Development Co. for On-Call Road and Bikeway Engineering Services will provide timely access to specialized services needed in support of completing cost effective public works projects and will support expediting the completion of ongoing and future business needs for various County of Orange projects.

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

Architect-Engineer (A-E) On-Call Road and Bikeway Engineering Services (Services) are used to assist the County of Orange (County) in completing capital improvement, rehabilitation and maintenance projects, including those projects listed on OC Public Works 7-Year Capital Improvement Program approved by the Board of Supervisors (Board) on April 28, 2020. Many of the projects are time sensitive due to facilities reaching their useful life expectancy and needing repair and rehabilitation, while other projects are driven by safety, government code or regulatory permitting requirements. To continue the efficient operation and management of County facilities, it is necessary to retain services to supplement staff and provide specialized expertise. The award of services contracts expedites the process to obtain and utilize those needed Services.

 

Existing A-E contracts for On-Call Road/Bridge and Traffic Engineering Services, approved by the Board on December 12, 2017, will expire on December 21, 2020. More than $6.3 million of A-E Services have been utilized from these contracts Countywide (between mid FY 2017-18 and the end of FY 2019-20), averaging $2.1 million annually on capital projects. In order to obtain more specialized A-E disciplines, the existing slate for On-Call Road/Bridge and Traffic Engineering Services has been split into three separate solicitations: (1) Road and Bikeway Engineering Services, (2) Bridge Design Services and (3) Traffic and Development Support Services.

 

OC Public Works issued a Request for Qualification (RFQ) to establish a Qualified Vendor List for the Services. The RFQ was advertised from June 19, 2020, through July 15, 2020, on the County online bidding system. A total of 28 submittals were received in response to the RFQ.

 

On August 19, 2020, the RFQ evaluation panel completed the written evaluation process and provided recommendations. A summary of the most qualified contractors providing Services is attached as a part of the Memorandum of Recommendation (Attachment Q).

 

OC Public Works is requesting Board approval of the following A-E contracts for Services, effective November 17, 2020, through November 16, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $750,000 each, for a total cumulative amount not to exceed $10.5 million, renewable for two years upon Board approval:

* The value of the contracts was determined using projections to complete the CIP's workload, which is anticipated to be in the range of $19 million over the next five years for Services. Some projects will require individual Request for Proposals to meet grant requirements and projects could be re-prioritized due to revenue adjustments.

 

The contractors are qualified to perform the needed Services based on past performance on County projects. OC Public Works has conducted due diligence on the contractors. Reference checks were satisfactory and completed with the following companies regarding similar projects.

The contracts are being presented for consideration less than 30 days prior to their expiration because a thorough evaluation of the current and future business needs of the County was conducted. The evaluation concluded that it is in the best interest of the County to renew the contracts to allow OC Public Works to continue providing support for various County projects.

 

The contract with Psomas, due to the nature of the services, could require the addition of subcontractors. In order to add subcontractor(s) to the contract, Psomas must seek express consent from OC Public Works. Should the addition of a subcontractor impact the scope of work and/or contract amount, OC Public Works will bring the item back to the Board for approval. The rest of the contracts include subcontractors. See Attachment O for information regarding subcontractors and Contract Summary Form.

 

In accordance with the 2020 Design and Construction Procurement Policy Manual Section 3.3-102 and pursuant to California Government Code Section 25502.5, approval by the Board is required for all A-E services contracts in excess of $200,000.

 

Compliance with CEQA: This action is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is therefore not subject to CEQA, since it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The approval of this agenda item does not commit the County to a definite course of action in regard to a project since it is for an approval of a Services contract. This proposed activity is therefore not subject to CEQA. Any individual, specific work authorized pursuant to these contracts will be reviewed for compliance with CEQA.

 

 

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

Appropriations for the OC Public Works portion of these contracts are included in the FY 2020-21 Budget for OC Road Fund 115: 10 percent, OC Road Capital Fund 174: 60 percent and 30 percent Charges for Services and will be included in the budgeting process for future years.

 

As part of consolidating the administration of various internal A-E programs and Services contracts under OC Public Works, the not to exceed amount has been established to allow for Countywide utilization. Departments will utilize their internal process to encumber the amounts needed based on their respective projects and will ensure sufficient appropriations are available in the current budget and for future years.

 

The proposed contracts include a provision stating the contracts are subject to, and contingent upon, applicable budgetary appropriations being approved by the Board for each fiscal year during the terms of these contracts. If such appropriations are not approved, these contracts may be immediately terminated without penalty to the County.
