TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute an agreement with M.R. Chasse Company, Inc., in an amount not to exceed a total of
$4,000,000 for a period of three-years for as-needed design/build services for waterproofing of facilities for the Departments of Health and Human Services, Library Services, and Parks, Recreation and Marine, and the Civic Center Complex; and authorize City Manager to execute additional amendments to the agreements with M. R. Chasse Company, Inc., relative to the extension of the term, to authorize additional services, if required, within the provisions of the agreements, and to adjust the fee schedule of hourly rates for inflation.
DISCUSSION
The City of Long Beach has many facilities of varying ages in need of waterproofing repairs. In order to properly identify facility needs for the Departments of Health and Human Services, Library Services, and Parks, Recreation and Marine, and the Civic Center Complex, it is recommended that the City enter into a three-year agreement with M.R. Chasse Company, Inc. (MRRCO). The scope of work includes site investigation, design, and construction for the remediation of water intrusion problems in facilities for the departments and areas noted above and to furnish warranties for repair work performed. Anticipated projects may include roofing repairs of main and branch library buildings, the main Health Department building, and the correction of water intrusion at City Hall lower level offices and parking areas. The intent of this agreement is to procure expert professional services for such work.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) process was conducted in accordance with Administrative Regulation 8-4, "Selecting Professional Consultants," to secure professional services. The RFP was posted on the City's website, proposals were received, and MRCCO was deemed the lowest responsible bidder. It is therefore recommended that MRCCO be retained for a three-year period to provide specialized design/build services as described above.
The matter was reviewed by Senior Deputy City Attorney Donna F. Gwin on January 12, 2005 and Budget Management Officer David Wodynski on January 12, 2005.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on March 8, 2005 to allow MRCCO to begin site investigation of the various facilities immediately.
FISCAL IMPACT
This agreement provides for design/build services for a combined total amount not-toexceed $4,000,000. Sufficient funds to support these services will be budgeted in various capital improvement projects within the Department of Public Works. All work will be contingent upon annual appropriations by the City Council.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
