HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 11c - On-Call Engineering Services DATE: November 1, 2022 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director Phil Wray, Deputy Development Services Director/City Engineer By: Johnathan Doojphibulpol, Associate Civil Engineer SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR ON-CALL ENGINEERING SERVICES WITH HR GREEN PACIFIC, INC., KREUZER CONSULTING GROUP, AND PSOMAS Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY The Development Services Department is requesting authorization to execute Professional Services Agreements with HR Green Pacific, Inc. (“HR Green”), Kreuzer Consulting Group (“KCG”) and Psomas for engineering design services for projects in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”). Having access to on-call engineering services at an agreed-upon rate expedites projects and keeps costs lower overall. It is recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to execute on-call Professional Services Agreements with all three firms for a term of three years, with the option to extend the agreements for two additional years, to end on June 30, 2027. BACKGROUND Projects in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) frequently require detailed engineering design. In the past, the Development Services Department has designed engineering drawings in-house or sent out requests-for-proposals for design services and entered into Professional Service Agreements (“PSAs”) on a project-by-project basis. Over time, this approach was sufficient to keep pace with the number of CIP projects. However, when evaluating the current and near future capital project needs, along with overall workloads and responsibilities, it was determined that a more efficient way to assign work and administer projects is needed to keep pace with the number and size of expected future projects. Agreement for On-Call Engineering Design Services November 1, 2022 Page 2 of 5 There are four projects currently budgeted in the CIP in need of engineering design as follows: • First Avenue and Second Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation - Between Huntington Drive and Duarte Road • Downtown Parking Lot Improvements Conceptual Design Alternatives • Colorado Street/Boulevard Complete Streets Conceptual Design • Baldwin Avenue Streetscape Improvements While these are the largest projects in the CIP in need of design services, there are other technical analyses that will be needed to keep projects on track in the years ahead. As a result, on-call engineering services would be useful to provide City staff with a more efficient, advantageous, and business-friendly approach to consultant services. By having pre-approved and qualified engineering firms under contract, the City will be able to quickly select a consultant and expedite project design. This is the same approach the City uses for environmental consultants for California Environmental Quality (“CEQA”) work, and assistance with architectural design services. DISCUSSION In July 2022, a request-for-proposal (“RFP”) was prepared, noticed in the newspaper, posted on the City’s website, and sent to eight qualified engineering consulting firms. A total of 10 proposals were received, but two firms’ proposals were disqualified because they were received after the submission deadline. Proposals were received from the following firms: FIRM LOCATION Civiltec Engineering, Inc. Monrovia, CA HR Green Pacific, Inc. Corona, CA IDS Group, Inc. Irvine, CA IMEG Corp. Pasadena, CA Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. Los Angeles, CA Kreuzer Consulting Group Seal Beach, CA Psomas Los Angeles, CA RKA Consulting Group Walnut, CA General Technologies & Solutions (Disqualified) Los Angeles, CA KOA (Disqualified) Monterey Park, CA The eight qualifying proposals were evaluated according to the rating criteria of responsiveness to the RFP, depth of experience relative to Arcadia’s needs, Agreement for On-Call Engineering Design Services November 1, 2022 Page 3 of 5 qualifications, composition, skills and experience of the team, ability to perform the work in a timely manner, and hourly rates. Subsequent to the initial submittals, design work samples were requested of each firm and reviewed for presentation, quality, and attention to detail. As a result, Kreuzer Consulting Group (“KCG”), Psomas, and HR Green Pacific, Inc. (“HR Green”), were selected as the top three candidates. KCG was selected because of their quality proposal, an experienced team that has worked together on past Arcadia projects, and their high-quality work. KCG has successfully designed several projects for the City of Arcadia including the Westbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Curb Ramp improvements, Citywide Bike Lanes, and Live Oak Avenue Rehabilitation Improvements. They are a small firm of 12 employees that provide excellent services at competitive prices, and they are currently providing on-call engineering services to the Cities of Anaheim, Irvine, Brea, Long Beach, and others. Psomas was selected because of their quality proposal, their vast history of major project work similar to Arcadia’s request, a broad spectrum of expertise within the firm, and their team’s strength and experience. Psomas is a well-known and respected firm that has been in business for over 70 years with multiple offices in Southern California and approximately 200 employees. Their proposal emphasizes delivering quality services, completing projects on time and within budget, and maintaining ideal client and contractor relationships. Psomas currently provides on-call engineering services to the Cities of Pasadena, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and others, and the County of Los Angeles. They also currently provide on-call Environmental Consulting Services to the City of Arcadia. HR Green was selected because of their quality proposal, their history of project work similar to Arcadia’s request, their team’s experience, and their history of similar services to neighboring San Gabriel Valley cities. They are a large national firm, but a medium sized firm in Southern California, with about 60 employees. With an office in Corona, HR Green exclusively serves public agencies in California and specializes in multi- faceted engineering and design services. HR Green currently provides on-call engineering services to the Cities of Glendora, Claremont, Pomona, Diamond Bar, and Rancho Cucamonga. Although other proposing firms are certainly capable, these three firms were the highest rated in the categories mentioned above, and their work examples were exceptional. The other firms either focused on other engineering concentrations like utilities, facilities, and structures, or they didn’t have the depth of relevant experience that the top three proposals demonstrated. Cost was evaluated as part of all proposals as it is the City’s directive to always receive quality pricing along with quality work product. All the firms reviewed had pricing proposals that are competitive, fair, and within the range of what is expected for these Agreement for On-Call Engineering Design Services November 1, 2022 Page 4 of 5 services. The top three firms bring different strengths and capabilities to the City to fulfill the City’s different design needs. Psomas and HR Green have comparable and competitive hourly rates. KCG’s hourly rates are lower due to lower overhead costs, but their small workforce limits the size and complexity of projects they can reasonably perform in a timely manner. Since the firms were not bidding on specific projects, there is no final cost to use for comparison. All three firms will enter into Professional Services Agreements (“PSAs”) for a three-year term, renewable for two additional years. Their hourly rates, shown in the attached PSAs will be fixed for the entire five- year period. When the services of an on-call consultant are required, the firm best suited to provide the services based on their qualifications for a particular project and their ability to meet the project schedule will be asked to submit a proposal for the work. More than one firm may be requested to propose on a given project depending on the type and magnitude of the project. Staff will review the proposal(s) to make sure the scope of work and schedule are acceptable, and the cost for services is in line with the hourly rates submitted and at a reasonable scale for Engineering design costs. Proposals selected for these services in this manner will be administratively approved, and a purchase order prepared without any further PSAs needed at that time. The proposals will not require subsequent City Council approval if the project was already approved by the City Council through the operating budget, Capital Improvement Program, and/or through grants that the Council has accepted. This will streamline the development process and keep inflationary costs down during the term of the PSAs. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT All work through this proposal will be for projects that have already been approved by the City Council through the operating budget and Capital Improvement Program. Any costs incurred will be paid within the proposed budget of the approved project. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a project and is therefore exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreements for On-Call Engineering Design Services with HR Green Pacific Inc., Kreuzer Consulting Group, and Psomas, for a term of three years with the option to extend an additional two years, to end in 2027.
