RECOMMENDATION: Approve an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2016-264 (passed April 06, 2016) to increase the maximum contract amount to $2,000,000 for the task order contracts with Jaymark Engineering Corporation (Jaymark), Infrastructure Associates, Inc. (Infrastructure), and Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc. (WPM).
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The General Services Department recommends that City Council approve an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2016-264 to increase the maximum contract amount to $2,000,000 from $1,000,000 for the professional engineering services task order contracts with Jaymark, Infrastructure, and WPM. It is expected that Jaymark, Infrastructure, and WPM will deplete the $1,000,000 expenditure cap in November 2019. The requested increase will allow each consultant to complete pending task orders which will exceed the current $1,000,000 maximum contract amount.
PREVIOUS HISTORY AND PROJECT SCOPE: On April 6, 2016, by Ordinance No. 2016-264, City Council approved a task order contract for professional engineering services for a term of three years with two one-year renewals with Jaymark, Infrastructure and WPM, and set a maximum contract amount for each contract of $1,000,000.
M/WBE PARTICIPATION: The original task order contracts with Jaymark, Infrastructure and WPM have an 8% M/WBE goal. To date, Jaymark has achieved 8.9% M/WBE participation, Infrastructure has achieved 9.5% M/WBE participation, and WPM has achieved 7.3% M/WBE participation. According to the Office of Business Opportunity, WPM has made a good faith effort to meet the M/WBE goal and has projects underway that are utilizing the services of its M/WBE firms. With this plan, it is anticipated that WPM will achieve the goal by the completion of the contract.
