6.A. - Page 2 of 9 On December 13, 2017, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Construction Inspection Services to the eight firms on the Engineering and Transportation Division's pre -qualified consultant list. Five proposals were received in January 2018. After review of the proposals and interviews with two firms selected to move forward in the process, staff selected CSG Consultants, Inc. as the most qualified firm to provide construction inspection services. Since the initial contract amount was less than $60,000, the threshold for City Council approval at the time, the City Manager was authorized to approve the contract in mid-February 2018, and the consultant began providing services shortly thereafter. On September 24, 2018, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2. to the agreement to increase the amount by $98,000, and on December 17, 2018, the City Council approved Amendment No. 3 to the agreement for Engineering Inspection Services to increase the contract amount by $100,000. Amendment No. 2 allowed for the continuation of construction inspection services, and Amendment No. 3 allowed the City to have two additional engineering inspectors to help with the increased demand for inspection services needed and that same demand for services is expected to continue this year. On May 20, 2019, the City Council approved Amendment No. 4 for $300,000, on November 4, 2019, the City Council approved Amendment No. 5 for $400,000, and on July 27, 2020, the City Council approved Amendment No. 6 for $400,000 in order to allow the continuation of construction inspection services. Staff will issue a new request for proposals for engineering inspection services before the end of 2021. ANALYSIS The amended agreement is proposed not to exceed $500,000.00, which covers 40 weeks of time (approximately 10 months) for two inspectors to provide construction inspection services. Under this agreement, construction inspection services would be provided to several capital improvement projects and utility permits. Costs will be shared amongst the different capital improvement projects and utility permit cost recovery accounts based on the actual time spent on each activity by the proposed inspector. The amended agreement budget will allow the current inspectors to continue providing construction inspection services through December 2021. The budget will also allow the inspector to assist with an influx of utility encroachment permits and related development projects. Construction inspection services will be charged to the following Capital Improvement Projects and activities: • Middlefield Road Streetscape Project (25%) • Sewer Collection System Replacement Project (20%) • Water Distribution System Replacement Program (20%) • Utility encroachment permits and related development projects (35%) Page 2 of 4 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcitV.org 6
