| | | | | | | | Background:
Recommendation: Appropriate funds for the Professional Environmental Consulting Services Task Order Program (Environmental Program) for FY 2018.
Specific Explanation: The General Services Department (GSD) recommends that City Council appropriate $473,000.00 for the Environmental Program for FY 2018 for comprehensive environmental consulting services for various City departments. The Environmental Program is funded through supplemental allocations from various departmental budgets or appropriations from various bond funds as departments identify projects and specific funding for each project. Funds are allocated to contracts as task orders are issued.
PROJECT LOCATIONS: Citywide
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The scope of services consists of project planning and site studies for asbestos, lead, mold, and indoor air quality; pre-acquisition environmental site assessments; preparation of construction documents; construction administration and inspection; evaluation and remediation of contaminants; system design; preparation of reports; and environmental testing required for replacement of leaking petroleum storage tanks on City properties.
PREVIOUS HISTORY AND PROJECT SCOPE: On March 4, 2015, Ordinance No. 2015-0190, City Council authorized 15 professional environmental consulting services task order contracts for the Environmental Program, set a maximum contract amount for each contract of $600,000, and appropriated funds. Currently, GSD utilizes 14 consultants for the Environmental Program because Clear Ventures, Inc., dba CAM Environmental Services is no longer in business.
M/WBE PARTICIPATION: A 20% M/WBE goal has been established for each contract. There is low utilization to report on several contracts because many of the assigned projects have not commenced. However, it is anticipated that the consultants will achieve their M/WBE goals by the completion of their respective contract. To date, each consultant has achieved the following M/WBE participation:
