BACKGROUND:
The construction contract for the Iron Horse Trail Pedestrian Overcrossing Project will be
awarded on May 12, 2009. Due to the size and magnitude of this project, the County has
decided to hire a consulting firm to act as a project manager to represent the County to
oversee the construction of the project. The Public Works Department looked into using
their own staff, but 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 Iron Horse Trail Pedestrian Overcrossing
Project. From the responses, five firms were shortlisted and interviewed. From this, Public
Works felt TRC Engineers, Inc. were most qualified to represent the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Consulting Services Agreement with TRC Engineers, Inc. is not approved, it may not
be possible to complete inspections or construct the project.
