Additional Backup Information:
As a standard business practice, the City routinely engages the services of professional engineering firms to perform analysis, design and support services associated with construction or improvement of City capital assets. Rotation List contracting allows the City to always have a group of qualified consultants available to perform a specific type of recurring work in a timely manner to meet the project and operational needs of the City.
In April 2019, Council approved further design and implementation of the Corridor Construction Program to allow for the next phases of the program utilizing previously approved 2016 Mobility Bond funds. The Corridor Construction Program projects not already completed or currently in construction are in the final design and permitting phases and will be progressing to bid and construction phases in 2024. The remaining authority under this contract will soon be expended and additional funds are required for the design firms to complete their work on the design and construction phases of the Corridor Program.
The selected firms for the 2018 Corridor Program Engineering Services Rotation List provide civil engineering for bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and vehicle transportation infrastructure needs and facilities for the Corridor Construction Program projects. Per firm authorizations may be increased or decreased, through the life of the contract, based on the needs of a particular assignment and will follow the established rotation list policies and procedures.
This amendment was approved by the City’s Change Control Committee. The Change Control Committee was established to comply with Council Resolution No. 20120126-048, which required the establishment of consistent criteria and process to evaluate contractual changes for all contracts administered by the Capital Contracting Office. The Change Control Committee is comprised of management-level subject matter experts.
