Subject:Approve and Authorize Consulting Services Agreements with RMW and HGA, for As-Needed Architectural
Services for Health Facilities Projects
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the as-needed consulting services agreements is to provide architectural
services for health facilities projects as they occur during the two-year contract period.
When the General Services Department receives a project request that is approved by the
County Administrator's Office, it will be determined whether or not to utilize one of the
as-needed architects. The as-needed architects provide services such as programming,
design, and construction administration. The types of projects will vary and may include
remodels, tenant improvements, additions, modernization, and reconstruction. It is unknown
at this time how many project assignments will be issued because the services are provided
on an as-needed basis.
Having as-needed contracts in place will allow the design phase to commence sooner and
provide for a shorter project completion schedule. To provide flexibility and capacity for
project delivery, it is recommended that two as-needed contracts be approved at this time.
Potential future projects may include the expansion of the Concord Clinic and the
replacement of the Family Practice Clinic at the Contra Costa County Regional Medical
Center.
RMW Architecture & Interiors (RMW) and Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc. (HGA)
were selected through a competitive qualifications-based selection process. Statements of
Qualifications (“SOQ”) were advertised and requested, twenty-six SOQs were received, and
six firms were short-listed for interviews. A selection committee comprised of County staff
from the Health Services and General Services Departments conducted interviews and
ranked the short-listed firms, with RMW and HGA being the top rated firms.
