RECOMMENDATION: Approve five landscape architecture task order contracts for design services with Clark Condon Associates, Inc.; Design Workshop, Inc.; Lauren Griffith, Inc.; M2L Associates Inc.; and White Oak Studio dba James Patterson Associates, Inc., for the Landscape Architecture Task Order Contracting Program, and appropriate funds.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The General Services Department (GSD) recommends that City Council approve five landscape architecture task order contracts with Clark Condon Associates, Inc., Design Workshop, Inc., Lauren Griffith, Inc., M2L Associates Inc., and White Oak Studio dba James Patterson Associates, Inc., to perform design and construction administration services for the Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) capital improvement projects, and delegate authority to the director to approve supplemental allocations up to the maximum contract amount for each contract of $3,000,000.00. Each contract provides for a term of three-years with two one-year renewal options.
On January 18 and 25, 2019, GSD advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for landscape architectural consulting services. The RFQ contained selection criteria that ranked the respondents on recent project experience, recent task order contracting experience, and proposed personnel’s experience. The Statements of Qualifications were due on February 14, 2019, and five firms responded. A selection committee comprised of GSD and HPARD representatives evaluated and ranked the respondents. All five firms qualified based on the advertised criteria.
PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide – See attached list.
SCOPE OF CONTRACT AND FEES: Under the terms of the contracts, the consultants will provide professional design services on an as needed basis for the HPARD capital improvement projects. These services include drawings and specifications, construction/repair cost estimating, and construction administration. Basic services fees for each task order will be negotiated based upon the size and complexity of the project and paid on a lump sum basis.
M/WBE PARTICIPATION: An M/WBE goal of 24% has been established for each contract. Since these are task order contracts, sub-consultant utilization will be determined as projects and proposals are produced. Each consultant has submitted the following certified firms to achieve the goal:
