SERVICE AGREEMENTS FOR
AND MATERIALS TESTING
ITG. 1 I1 3104 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, INSPECTION,
IEPT. ENG
ITEM EXPLANATION:
CITY ATTY.~?
CITY MGR.
With the current levels of public and private construction activity within the City, it is desirable to support and augment City staff with outside professional services to provide construction management, inspection, and materials testing on an as-needed basis. The City currently has three firms under contract that provide these services. The existing contract with Aufbau Corporation expires January 18, 2004; the contract with Simon Wong Engineering, Inc. expires June 30, 2004; and the contract with Testing Engineers - San Diego, Inc. expires January 17, 2004. These existing contracts can’t be extended further.
In August of 2003, the City sent out a request for a Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) for professional services. Staff received 12 SOQs for construction management and inspection services and received 6 SOQs for materials testing and inspection. A selection committee evaluated the SOQs consistent with Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.070 to determine the most qualified firms. The following tables outline the firm’s ranking based on the committee’s evaluation of the SOQs submitted.

Group Delta Consultants, Inc. 16
Staff is recommending that a professional service agreement for construction management and inspection services be awarded to Aufbau Corporation. Staff is also recommending that a professional service agreement for materials testing and inspection services be awarded to Testing Engineers - San Diego, Inc. The contracts will be managed by City staff, in the Construction Management & Inspection Division of the Engineering Department.
It is estimated that the City will require approximately $700,000 to $1,700,000 annually in as-needed construction management, inspection, and materials testing services for professional services for both private and public engineering construction projects over the life of the contracts to support

staff. The range in estimated cost is due to the uncertainty of project timing. During FY 02-03 the City spent $702,824.48 for these as-needed services. Staff is recommending a total aggregate amount of $600,000. Each firm is limited in total dollar amount for any given contract term as outlined below.
$400,000
$600,000
$200,000
There is no obligation on the City’s part to utilize any services provided by the selected firms. The firms provide services at the City’s discretion. Funds for CIP construction management, inspection and testing are typically unavailable until allocated by the City Council when they award a CIP construction project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The maximum amounts payable by the City to each consultant during any fiscal year are shown on the following table. Funding for these professional services is provided by the Engineering Department Operating Budget or the City’s Capital Improvement Program and contingent upon the
availability of approved appropriations.
