SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution approving agreements for professional Mechanical, Electrical, and
Plumbing (MEP) engineering service contracts for Project No. 22-013 MEP Engineering
Consulting Services for City Facilities. This Resolution establishes an approved list of qualified
licensed MEP consultants to perform engineering services for three years, and during renewal of
the agreement for two successive one-year periods after the initial term.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The City has requested proposals from qualified engineering firms to assist the City with on-call
services for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Engineering services. The City intends
to issue contracts on an as-needed basis for maintenance and capital improvement projects to
include preliminary investigation, permitting, design, bidding, construction management,
inspection, and certification. The work for each project under this Agreement will vary in scope
and complexity. Proposer (this term used interchangeably with “Consultant”) is encouraged to
demonstrate diversity of skills and abilities as they relate to MEP Engineering. Services shall
include all personnel, supervision, management, labor, tools, equipment, material, and travel,
necessary to perform these services, with reimbursable expenses to be agreed upon prior to
initiation of project.
A total of four proposals were received and three firms were selected based on their initial
submittals and fee schedules to receive future Request for Proposals to perform MEP engineering
consulting services for city facilities. This Resolution authorizes contracts under 22-013 MEP
Engineering Consulting Services for City Facilities and will provide both competitive bid cost
controls and rapid response capability by creating a list of qualified MEP engineering consultants.
No minimum amount of work is guaranteed under these agreements. For each on-call service
request, the City will develop a complete scope of work and require the consultants to provide a
not-to-exceed amount (limit) based on their hourly fee rate, and a delivery schedule for services
of each specific project assigned under this Agreement. The most advantageous proposal to the
City, and in the best interest of the City, shall be determined based on the evaluation criteria set
forth in the Request for Proposals.
Request for services shall be initiated and documented by a written work order agreement (“Work
Order” with sample attached as Schedule 3). The Work Order shall set forth the work to be
performed, the time for completion and the compensation, including maximum compensation, for
performance of such work.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for this Project will come from the associated project account.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of this Resolution will result in the City being unable to proceed with the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
Attachments:
