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.

APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH A Municipal Corporation By: By: City Attorney Stephen G. Badum Public Works Director f: luserslpbvAsharedlagreementslfy 01.021pmsource.doc 14 Pro Source, Inc. la February 26, 2002 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 Page 2 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. Respectfully submitted, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Steve Badum, Director By: R. Gunther, P.E. Construction Engineer Attachments: Amendment No. 1 Agreement Council Memo, November 13, 2001 November 13, 2001 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTION SERVICES RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve a Professional Services Agreement for Inspection Services with Quantum Consulting for $75,000, and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the Agreement. 2. Authorize a Budget Amendment appropriating $150,000 to 5100 -8080 (Services — Professional & Technical) from General Fund unappropriated surplus fund balance. 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 Date: November 13, 2001 Page 2 1. Inspect construction work for assigned projects on a daily basis. Insure work done is per Contract specifications and plan drawings. 2.

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. Respectfully submitted, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Stephen G.
