Subject: Contract Award Recommendation for Construction Engineering Inspection Services for Department of Transportation and Public Works (SPD Project No. E23TP03; Contract No. CIP268-DTPW22-CEI)

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Executive Summary
The purpose of this item is to seek approval from the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to authorize the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to execute Professional Services Agreements (PSAs) with AECOM Technical Services, Inc., BCC Engineering, LLC, EAC Consulting, Inc., and HNTB Corporation to provide Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) services for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) for a five-year term with a combined maximum allocation of $22,000,000.

These agreements are structured as capacity-based, multi-award contracts. Each firm will be awarded a defined portion of the total contract capacity and may receive Work Orders on an as-needed basis; however, no minimum amount of work or compensation is guaranteed. Work Orders will be issued through a formal evaluation and rotational assignment process to ensure fairness, transparency and alignment with project needs. This methodology promotes competition at the Work Order level while enabling DTPW to match the most qualified consultant to each assignment.

Approval of these PSAs is essential to strengthening DTPW�s capacity to ensure regulatory compliance, reduce project delivery risks, and effectively manage unforeseen conditions during construction. These agreements will allow the County to leverage specialized engineering expertise, resulting in improved public safety, reduced service disruptions, and a more durable and reliable transportation infrastructure network.

These PSAs will support DTPW in administering, monitoring, and inspecting construction activities to ensure compliance with all applicable design criteria, standards, plans, specifications, and special provisions. CEI responsibilities will include construction administration, schedule and permit monitoring, field inspection, resident and office engineering, quality control, testing and commissioning, budget and cash-flow oversight, review of cost estimates and invoices, processing shop drawings and RFIs, evaluating change orders and supplemental agreements, safety and security coordination, and contract closeout.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve a competitive award of four separate PSAs for CEI Services to AECOM Technical Services, Inc., BCC Engineering, LLC, EAC Consulting, Inc. and HNTB Corporation under SPD Project No. E23TP03; Contract No. CIP268-DTPW22-CEI, in the combined maximum amount of $22,000,000 for a five-year term.

Scope
The PSAs will provide CEI services required for contract administration and inspection for various DTPW projects in multiple commission districts and is thus countywide in nature.

Delegation of Authority
The authority of the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to execute and implement this contract, including exercising all the provisions therein, is consistent with those authorities granted under the County Code.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The PSAs have a total combined value of $22,000,000 for a term of five years. The services will be funded on a Work Order basis.

Background
Thirteen proposals were received by the April 22, 2024 submittal deadline. On August 22, 2024, the Competitive Selection Committee (CSC) convened to evaluate proposer qualifications, experience, and capacity in accordance with the solicitation criteria. After completing First Tier evaluations and applying standard tie-breaking procedures, the CSC determined that all proposals provided sufficient information to rank firms without the need for Second Tier presentations.
Consistent with the solicitation, which allowed up to four awards, the CSC recommended the four highest-ranked firms for award.
The resulting PSAs will support DTPW�s delivery of complex capital projects by providing comprehensive CEI services. These services include construction administration; on-site inspection and materials testing; schedule, cost, and permit monitoring; constructability reviews; and coordination among contractors, utility agencies, and regulatory entities. The consultants will maintain continuous field presence, document contractor performance, verify compliance with plans and specifications, and manage key processes such as RFIs, shop drawings, change orders, and contract closeout.
Additionally, CEI consultants will perform critical oversight functions including schedule analysis, cash flow monitoring, quality assurance, safety compliance, and environmental regulatory adherence. The firms will support resolution of field issues, track design errors and omissions, coordinate utility conflicts, and assist with documentation required for grant reimbursement and interagency agreements.
The extended procurement timeline was driven primarily by multi-firm negotiations and required third-party concurrence. The Strategic Procurement Department (SPD) and DTPW are implementing process improvements, including earlier coordination with external stakeholders, enhanced staff training, and streamlined negotiation procedures, to improve procurement efficiency.
