HD. AN CITY ATTY. e CITY MGR. -?=- RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2003-136 approving agreements with Berryman and Henigar, Post Buckley Schuh & Jernigan, GVP Consultants, and Helming Engineering 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. The City continues to develop rapidly in the northeast and southeast quadrants and staff anticipates a continued demand of private development project reviews. In April of 2003, City staff sent out a request for a statement of qualifications (SOQ’s) to seven consultants for engineering planchecking services. City staff received a total of five SOQ’s. Of those five, four firms were selected based on experience and knowledge of performing the variety of municipal planchecking services needed by the City. The four consultants selected are: 1) Berryman and Henigar; 2) Post Buckley Schuh & Jernigan; 3) GVP Consultants; and 4) Helming Engineering. The time necessary to become an efficient and effective planchecker can be lengthy. All four of these consultants have experience in performing planchecking services for the City of Carlsbad and have become familiar with the Municipal Code, City Standards, policies and processes. Each consultant has demonstrated unique knowledge and competence related to the City planchecking needs. The four recommended contracts satisfy the intent required for as-needed professional engineering services. The recommendation is based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of these services as required by City of Carlsbad Municipal Code 3.28.070. Staff is recommending that the City approve all four agreements because of the anticipated demand for services. The agreements will be for a one-year period ending on June 30, 2004, to coincide with the fiscal year. The City Manager may extend the agreement for three consecutive one-year periods based on the City’s need, satisfactory performance by the consultant, and appropriation of funds by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT: The not-to-exceed amounts for each consultant’s agreement are: The services provided by the consultants are paid as a percentage of fee revenues received and are, therefore, completely covered by annual fee revenues. Sufficient funds have been appropriated in the Engineering Department Budget to cover the anticipated cost for this fiscal year. Should. service demands exceed the annual contract limit, a contract amendment will be processed through Council. Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 17 I 188 EXHIBITS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
