A?PROVAL OF AGREEMENTS FOR
VITG. 6122199 ENGINEERING PLANCHECKING SERVICES
DEPT. ENG
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 99 - 132. approving consultant agreements with Berryman & Henigar, Ellorin Consulting Engineers, Helming Engineers, and John Powell and Associates for engineering planchecking services.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In 1993, responding to staff reductions and an increase in development activities, the Engineering Department identified the need to use consultants to provide planchecking services on an as-needed basis. Initially, a contract was prepared with Helming Engineering. In late 1994, the Engineering Department requested proposals from five firms to provide engineering planchecking services. Berryman & Henigar and Ellorin Consulting Engineers were initially selected from that group to provide services to the City. John Powell and Associates was on the initial list and is being recommended to provide these services to the City.
The proposed agreement extends these contracts with the following modifications:
Section 1: Additional requirements for checking improvement plans, including the additional task of checking water improvement plans.
Section 3: Progress and Completion - The new agreement adds contract turnaround times for construction revisions to grading or improvement plans.
Each of the firms has performed well in the past and has become familiar with City standards and processes.
The learning curve to become an efficient and effective planchecker can be lengthy. Each consultant has demonstrated unique knowledge and competence related to city standards and procedures. The recommended four contracts satisfy the intent of those required for purposals for professional services. This recommendation is based on the demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of these service as required by City of Carlsbad Municipal Code 3.28.150.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Each contract is a not-to-exceed $200,000 per year for a total of $800,000. The services are paid as a percentage of fee revenues received and are, therefore, completely covered by annual fee revenues. Should service demands exceed the annual contract limit, a contract amendment will be processed through to Council. Sufficient revenues have been appropriated in the Engineer Consultant Services account to cover anticipated costs for this fiscal year.
