SUMMARY:
Over the last five (5) years, the County of Monterey’s Resource Management Agency (RMA) has established several on-call agreements by prequalifying professional firms in specialized fields. The purpose of having on-call consultants expedites the procurement process when needing specialized expertise from a professional firm when County staff lacks the expertise or when the volume of work exceeds RMA’s capacity. These on-call agreements are utilized across the RMA, and at times used by other County Departments, for specialized expertise in operations, management and specific facility and capital projects.
DISCUSSION:
Kasavan Architects, Inc., RIM Architects (California), Inc., The Paul Davis Partnership, LLP, and Wald, Ruhnke & Dost Architects, LLP were selected for their expertise and capabilities necessary to provide on-call services over $100,000 for architectural and engineering design services for various projects located in Monterey County, California under a competitive selection process in accordance with County policies under Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #10456.
The RMA has identified a need for these consultants to continue to provide services associated with on-call architectural and engineering design services for various projects to assist the RMA’s Architectural Services staff in areas related to professional design services related to capital projects.
Amendment No. 3 to each Agreement between the County and Kasavan Architects, Inc., RIM Architects (California), Inc., The Paul Davis Partnership, LLP, and Wald, Ruhnke & Dost Architects, LLP (four (4) consultants) will extend the expiration date from May 20, 2019 for one (1) additional year through May 20, 2020, for a revised term of May 20, 2014 to May 20, 2020, beyond the anticipated five (5) year term allowed per RFQ #10456, while County staff works to procure these services under a new RFQ. Currently, RMA staff is proceeding with an RFQ to ensure competitive bidding practices are followed. This RFQ process will be implemented prior to the expiration of the proposed Amendment No. 3 to each Agreement. Amendment No. 3 does not increase the not to exceed amount of $5,000,000 for each Agreement
Attachment Q provides a summary of all the Agreements to date. Attachment R provides a summary of the annual expenditures and balance of all the Agreements to date.
