Stantec Consulting, Inc., formerly The Keith Companies, was able to provide the necessary project management services in the Agency's timeframe, rates were competitive, it is a local office, and the project manager has solid working relationships with all parties currently involved in the project. The Agency negotiated an agreement for immediate services to monitor preconstruction activities and the commencement of infrastructure construction. The agreement was then executed by the Executive Director, and was for an amount not -to -exceed $21,200. Vertical construction is set to begin in January 2006 and to last approximately 18 months. The recommended professional services agreement negotiated with Stantec Consulting, Inc., was based upon provision of: attendance at weekly construction meetings held by ComDyn; review of all delay claims; recommendations regarding pay applications and change orders; review of all construction documents; review of all design documents; attendance at all progress meetings; review and approving schedules, and performing other associated tasks. Staff recommends ratification of Contract No. R23390A in an amount not -to -exceed $21,200, plus $1,500 for reimbursable.
