TAGGED BY COUNCIL MEMBER GALLEGOS

This was Item 33 on Agenda of November 30, 2016

Background:

SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The General Services Department (GSD) utilizes task order and job order contracts to facilitate minor architectural and engineering design services, mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, roof consulting services, construction, repairs, rehabilitations, or alterations of facilities for its client departments. Having these contracts in place allows the City to expedite smaller facility construction projects and can help the City respond quickly to emergency situations. Funds will be allocated to design task order contracts or construction job order contracts as work orders are issued. Accordingly, GSD recommends that City Council appropriate $4,185,000 for the TOC/JOC Program for professional and construction services for General Government, Library, Parks, Fire, Solid Waste, and Health Departments.

 

BACKGROUND: The TOC/JOC Program is funded through supplemental allocations from various departmental budgets or appropriations from various bond funds, up to the maximum contract amount, as departments identify projects and specific funding for each project. Fees for each TOC project are negotiated based upon the size and complexity of the tasks involved. JOC work orders are issued and approved in accordance with pre-described and pre-priced tasks as established by the R.S. Means Facilities Construction Cost Data book. 

 

PROJECT LOCATIONS:  Citywide

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: See attached list. 

 

CIP FISCAL NOTE: There are no operating or maintenance costs related to the listed projects.       

 

     CAPITAL PROJECT INFORMATION: See attached Form As for a breakdown of capital costs.

On September 23, 2015, Ordinance No. 2015-901, Council approved an Ordinance increasing the maximum contract amount from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 for the architectural services task order contract with Collaborate.  On April 6, 2016, Ordinance 2016-0264, Council approved a professional engineering services task order contract with CSF, Jaymark, WPM, Hunt&Hunt, and Infrastructure, for a term of three years with two one-year renewal options.  Each contract has a maximum contract amount of $1,000,000.
