Executive Summary
Approval of this request authorizes the Chairman to execute the Agreement for materials
testing and special inspection services with SCS&T for the Carlos Ortega Villas project.
Construction is anticipated to commence in July 2014 and will take 14 months to complete.
The selected consultant will assist the Authority by providing material testing and deputy
special inspection services and preparing reports for the testing and inspection. Testing and
inspection services will include, but are not limited to soils, foundations, framing and
sheathing, concrete, epoxy anchors, and Title 24 HERS testing (Field Verification and
Diagnostic Testing services used to show compliance with the Title 24, Part 6; Building
Energy Efficiency Standards).
Backqround
The Carlos Ortega Villas is a 72-unit affordable senior housing project, located on
approximately 3.9 acres at the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue of the States.
Carlos Ortega Villas will be a flagship project, incorporating the latest in energy efficiencies
into both design and construction with the ultimate goal being a net-zero energy project.
On April 8, 2010, the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency Board ("Agency Board")
authorized the Executive Director to contract with Interactive Design Corporation (IDC) for
architectural services for the Carlos Ortega Villas. Since 2011, staffs' ability to move this
project forward has been limited by the dissolution of the former Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency ("Agency"). Despite this, the project entitlement process was
completed and the project design was approved by the Successor Agency/Housing
Authority on March 22, 2012.
As a requirement of the State Department of Finance, a Bond Proceeds Funding
Agreement was approved to facilitate this project by the Oversight Board on October 7,
2013, and by the Authority Board on October 10, 2013.
On April 26 and May 2, 2014, staff advertised the Notice Inviting Proposals for the Materials
Testing and Special Inspection Services portion of the Carlos Ortega Villas project, and on
May 20, 2014, eight proposals were received. Below is a summary of the proposals
received:

June 12, 2014
As this is a contract for professional services, award is based on qualifications. Therefore,
an evaluation committee of City staff reviewed all proposals received based on technical
criteria (qualifications, management approach, technical approach/work plan, and
completeness of response) and location of consultant's office(s). Staff reviewed the cost
proposal submitted by the highest ranked firm, found it to be within industry standard, and
negotiated the final scope and cost with this firm.
Staff recommends approval of a contract with SCS&T located in San Diego, California.
Although the headquarters is located in San Diego, the project will be serviced out of the
local office in Indio. Staff has reviewed the contractor's qualifications and found them to be
in accordance with the type of work being performed in this contract.
Fiscal Analvsis
The estimated costs for the project are listed on ROPS lines 171 and 186. Although the
Housing Authority would initially advance the funds for this work, the SARDA may
reimburse the Authority for the costs from bond proceeds. The 2007 Housing Set-Aside
bond issuance included the Carlos Ortega Villas as a project in the bond covenants.
As a requirement of the State Department of Finance, a Bond Proceeds Funding
Agreement was approved to facilitate this purpose by the Oversight Board on October 7,
2013, and by the Authority Board on October 10, 2013.
