Subject:Amendment No. 4 to an existing On-call Consulting Services Agreement with MGE Engineering,
Incorporated (Various Project Funds)
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
.
BACKGROUND:
The current on-call Consulting Services Agreement with MGE Engineering, Incorporated
expires on July 31, 2009. The Public Works Department has worked with County
Counsel to develop an updated Consulting Services Agreement and the standard on-call
scope of service for future on-call agreements. This process has recently been completed.
The Public Works Department is now beginning the solicitation process for new on-call
consultants. It will take three to six months to secure new on-call consultants. In the
meantime, the current on-call consultants need to be retained to assure the timely
completion of current and future projects.
MGE Engineering is designing the two bridge widenings as part of the Vasco Road
Safety Improvement Project under the existing on-call consulting services agreement.
The planned safety improvements require roadway and bridge widening to accommodate
a barrier to protect motorists traveling in opposite directions. The existing on-call
consulting services agreement with MGE Engineering was executed in July of 2006. This
amendment increases the payment limit of the existing agreement in order provide
contingency funds for structural design and construction support services for this Vasco
Road Safety Improvement Project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action will result in the Public Works Department having reduced availability
of structural engineering professional services, which may delay Vasco Road Safety
Improvement Project completion and put federal funding in jeopardy.
