Extension of the Current Professional Services Agreement with NAI Consulting, Inc.
End
FROM:
Pat Milos, Community Development Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve a Cost-Effectiveness/Public Interest Finding Resolution that it best serves the City of Cathedral City to continue the current contract with NAI Consulting, Inc. (NAI) to provide engineering and management services, project administration and technical oversight; authorize the Mayor to sign the Cost Effectiveness/Public Interest Finding Resolution; carry over $23,249.00 from the existing contract and approve an additional $150,000 for Engineering Services for Fiscal Years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017; and authorize the City Engineer to notify NAI Consulting that the existing Professional Services Agreement has been extended to June 30, 2017.
Body
BACKGROUND:
NAI has provided engineering and support services for the Community Development Department for the past 12 months and staff has been very satisfied with both the quality of the services and the NAI personnel assigned to the City. To provide continuity and complete Engineering tasks, it is recommended that NAI continue to coordinate City assigned activities with Cathedral City staff and pertinent outside agencies.
For this Agreement extension, NAI will provide engineering support for various Capital Improvement Projects including those funded by Caltrans-FHWA and Community Development Block Grant-HUD. Because of NAI's past involvement with the Engineering Department and Caltrans and HUD projects, staff maintains that NAI can best provide the management, professional and administrative support required for the Department to accomplish its goals at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 14-15 Professional Services Agreement had a remaining authorization of $23,249 when it ended on June 30, 2015. These funds will be carried over into the new agreement. Additionally, $150,000 will come from existing grants from Caltrans, CVAG, CDBG and Proposition 84. Non-grant funding will come from local match share that has been budgeted for various projects from sources including Measure A, Gas Tax, Assessment Districts, and developer contributions.
