BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
determined that we currently do not have the resources to complete this task due to the
overall complexity of the project.
The Public Works Department went through a consultant selection process. Over 100
consultant firms were solicited to provide a statement of qualifications and proposal to
provide construction management services for the Bethel Island Bridge project. From the
responses, five firms were shortlisted and interviewed. From this, Public Works felt TRS
Consultants, Inc. were most qualified to represent the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Consulting Services Agreement with TRS Consultants, Inc. is not approved, it may
not be possible to complete inspections or construct the project.
