SUBJECT: GEOTECHNICAL ON -CALL SERVICES - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT
NO. 1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Harrington
Geotechnical and Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Leighton
and Associates for on -call geotechnical services and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute the Amendments.
DISCUSSION:
On June 28, 2005 the City Council approved Professional Services with Leighton
Consulting, Inc. and Harrington Geotechnical Engineering to provide as needed on -call
geotechnical services regularly required for many Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
projects. The on -call agreements were developed to avoid a great number of small but
time - consuming Professional Services Agreements (PSA's) between the City and these
consultants to accomplish these on -going project tasks.
Over the last two years, these on -call PSA's have proven to be very effective and
efficient. Leighton Consulting Group and Harrington Geotechnical Engineering have
performed geotechnical services for about 34 projects for the City over the past two
years. Fees for services typically average between $10,000 and $15,000 per project.
The anticipated need for these services in the upcoming fiscal year will require the
extension of these contracts which are set to expire on June 30, 2007. Both these firms
have provided exceptional high quality service on numerous projects. Rates included in
the agreements are competitive and in line with industry standards.
The proposed Fiscal Year 2007/08 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget is
estimated at more than $37 million and includes over 100 projects. Many will require
geotechnical and materials testing services. Staff recommends approval of the
attached amendments to facilitate implementation of the CIP.
