CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. 4
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES WITH PRO SOURCE, INC.
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement for construction
services with Pro Source, Inc. in the amount of $27,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
A Public Works contract construction inspector was retained through ProSource, Inc. in
November 13, 2001, using an informal contract. Amendment No. 1 to that Professional
Services Agreement was approved by City Council on February 26, 2002, extending the
contract to September 30, 2002. The current and upcoming inspection workload for
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) construction projects continues to require additional
inspection staff. This additional inspector is especially needed due to the recent
retirement of two of the construction section Staff, one of them a Senior Public Works
Inspector. Recruitment for a replacement Public Works Inspector is under way at this
time; however it is expected that there will be at least a two -month period before the
replacement inspector is hired and another two- months required to acclimate the new
inspector before he /she can take on a full load of projects.
A contract time extension for the current contract inspector will help meet the interim
needs of the Public Works Department until the new staff inspector can be hired and
brought up to speed. Amendment No. 2 is necessary to maintain a staffing level that can
inspect the current and future inspection workload.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
Acting under the direction of the Public Works Construction Engineer, this contract
inspector will be assigned to various construction projects with the following general
scope of work:
Inspect construction work for assigned projects on a daily basis. Ensure work
done is per contract specifications and plan drawings.
SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES WITH PRO SOURCE, INC. APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO.
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
WITH PRO SOURCE, INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement for construction
services with Pro Source, Inc.
DISCUSSION:
On November 13, 2001, the Council authorized a budget amendment appropriating
$150,000 for contract inspection services. Public Works inspection staff needed to be
increased by two contract inspectors as soon as possible to be able to provide necessary
inspections for current and future construction projects, as well as Encroachment Permit
inspections. The first inspector was retained via that Council approval and is being used
on the Ocean Pier Rehabilitation project.
The second inspector was retained using an informal contract that did not require Council
approval. This inspector has many years of municipal inspection experience and has
adjusted well to inspecting Newport Beach projects. The current and upcoming
inspection workload for CIP construction projects will require continued additional
inspection staff. The original contract amount for inspection services is approaching the
threshold amount that requires Council approval and we are therefore bringing the
amendment to the agreement to Council for approval.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
Acting under the direction of the Public Works Construction Engineer, this contract
inspector will be assigned various construction projects with the following general scope
of work:
Inspect construction work for assigned projects on a daily basis. Ensure work
done is per contract specifications and plan drawings.
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment No. t to the Professional Services Agreement for Construction Support Services with Pro
Source, Inc.
February 26, 2002

2. Coordinate the Contractor's work with residents, businesses, other City
Departments, and utility companies on a regular basis.
3. Prepare item quantity estimates with Contractor's Superintendent to submit to
Construction Engineer for monthly progress payments.
4. Inform Construction Engineer of potential project changes. Obtain Contractor cost
estimates for suggested changes and for approval by Construction Engineer.
5. Perform final inspections and prepare punch lists.
Perform miscellaneous tasks as may be requested by City Staff.
Council approved the expenditure for this contract inspection on November 13, 2001. Per
that approval, the expenditure was initially being authorized in the General Fund as an
operating expenditure. At year -end these expenditures will be allocated back to the
specific CIP's utilizing the inspection services. The General Fund will be reimbursed if the
inspection services were utilized for CIP's funded by sources other than the General
Fund.

DISCUSSION:
Currently the inspection demands on the City's three full -time inspectors far exceeds their
capacity. There are approximately 16 projects in various stages of construction at this
time and an additional 5 projects scheduled to be awarded before January 1, 2002. From
January 1, 2002 through July 1, 2002 Staff anticipates the award of an additional 20
construction projects. Our inspection staff needs to be increased by two contract
inspectors as soon as possible to be able to provide necessary inspections for current
and future construction projects as well as Encroachment Permit inspections.
The first inspector is needed to provide inspection of the Newport and Balboa Piers
Rehabilitation Project. The Quantum Consulting proposal in the amount of $75,000 offers
the services of an inspector with over 35 years of Public Works experience and ocean -
related project experience with the City of Los Angeles Ports and Harbors Department.
The second inspector is needed to inspect various CIP construction projects scheduled to
begin shortly. Staff is communicating with several other firms to find this inspector. It is
anticipated an additional $75,000 will be needed for these services and another
Agreement will be brought to Council for consideration at a future meeting.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
Acting under the direction of the Public Works Construction Engineer, the contract
inspectors will be assigned to the Pier Rehabilitation and various other construction
projects with the following general scope of work:
SUBJECT: Approval of Professional Services Agreement for Public Works Inspection Services

1. Inspect construction work for assigned projects on a daily basis. Insure work done
is per Contract specifications and plan drawings.
2. Coordinate the Contractors work with residents, businesses, other City
Departments, and utility Companies on a regular basis.
3. Prepare item quantity estimates with Contractor's Superintendent to submit to
Construction Engineer for monthly progress payments.
4. Inform Construction Engineer of potential project changes. Obtain Contractor cost
estimates for suggested changes and for approval by Construction Engineer.
5. Perform final inspections and prepare punch lists.
6. Perform miscellaneous tasks as may be requested by City Staff.
Staff is requesting Council to authorize a total of $150,000 to the Public
Works /Engineering Operations budget to facilitate the payment of these services
throughout the fiscal year. Although this expenditure is initially being authorized in the
General Fund as an operating expenditure, at year -end, these expenditures will be
allocated back to the specific CIP's the inspection services were utilized for. The
General Fund will be reimbursed if the inspection services were utilized for CIP's
funded by sources other than the General Fund.
