Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors:
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) or his designee to execute amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc. (A-15729) 19six Architects (A-15730), Cedarblade Consulting (A-15731), Kasavan Architects (A-15732), and Wald, Ruhnke & Dost Architects, LLP (A-15733) for architectural services, pursuant to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #9600-86, adding $5,000,000 for a revised total aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 with no change to the Agreement term of February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2027.
SUMMARY:
The Projects Department at Natividad Medical Center (NMC) is responsible for managing architectural services to develop detailed plans and specifications for a wide range of projects. These projects vary in scope and include new construction, facility design, and both major and minor tenant improvement (TI) work for clinics and hospital buildings.
DISCUSSION:
The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #9600-86 for architectural services was issued on September 17, 2021. In response, Natividad Medical Center (NMC) received five (5) Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) packages. After a thorough review and evaluation by staff, all five submitting firms were selected based on their qualifications:
• Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc.
• 19six Architects
• Cedarblade Consulting
• Kasavan Architects
• Wald, Ruhnke & Dost Architects, LLP
NMC entered into five-year Master Agreements with each of these qualified firms. These agreements allow NMC to retain professional architectural services on an as-needed basis for both small- and large-scale building improvement projects, including new construction and tenant improvements.
There is no fixed monetary threshold limiting the scope of work under these agreements; they apply to projects valued both under and over $100,000. It is important to note that inclusion in a Master Agreement does not guarantee the award of any specific project. NMC is requesting to increase the total contract capacity by an additional $5,000,000, resulting in a revised aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000. This increase does not alter the original term of the agreements.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of County Counsel has reviewed and approved this amendment No. 1 as to form, and the Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved as to payment provisions. The amendment No. 1 has also been reviewed and approved by NMC’s Finance Committee and by its Board of Trustees on August 8, 2025.
FINANCING:
The aggregate cost for these Amendments is $5,000,000, of which $1,000,000 was included in the Adopted Budget for FY25-26. Amounts for remaining years of the Agreement will be included in those budgets as appropriate. There is no impact on the General Fund with this action.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS SECTION:
