Lango, General Services Director Date:November 23, 2010 Contra Costa County Subject:Approve and Authorize a Consulting Services Agreement with P. Steven Perls/Brewer Fraser Holland Lotito for As-Needed Architectural Services BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) consulting services agreement 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 an as-needed architect. The as-needed architect provides 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. There are currently two contracts of this type in place (approved by the Board in December 2009) which have reached their dollar limit. To provide flexibility and capacity for project delivery, it is recommended that the subject as-needed contract be approved at this time. Potential future projects may include remodels, tenant improvements, and infrastructure upgrades to facilities at the Contra Costa County Regional Medical Center and the various County health clinics. Perls/BFHL was selected through a competitive qualifications-based selection process. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Approving the as-needed contract will allow the design phase to commence sooner and provide for a shorter project completion schedule for projects where it would be appropriate and advantageous to utilize an as-needed contract. If the contract is not approved, we would not have this capability. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
