Subject:

Award of contracts to DUDEK and JIG Consultants for on-call construction management and inspection services for various water and sewer projects. (Cost: $500,000 each contract) (Joint Action Item with the Sanitary District)

OBJECTIVE

To recommend City Council and the Sanitary District Board approval of two contracts to 1) DUDEK and 2) JIG Consultants to provide on-call part time construction management services and full time inspection services for various water and sewer capital improvement projects and development and tenant improvement projects.

BACKGROUND

The City of Garden Grove and Garden Grove Sanitary District Board anticipate steadily awarding the construction of various water and sewer capital improvement projects in the upcoming years. The variety of projects include sewer main replacement to address insufficient capacity and poor pipe condition, water main replacement to increase fire flow and water facility rehabilitation due for upgrades. On-call construction management and inspection services will make resources available to carry out these projects to completion when City/District Staff are not available. These services will also support in-house inspectors during inspection of new developments and tenant improvement projects. Service requests will be made as needed and can be used for the entire construction phase of a project or short term. The workload varies over time, so there may be periods where there is less or no work. The selected firms will be flexible but available to provide support when needed. 

DISCUSSION

Staff requested proposals from four (4) firms to provide construction management and inspection services.  All four (4) solicited consultants submitted proposals.  A panel of three (3) members rated the submitted proposals on the basis of qualifications without considering cost. The two (2) firms that were rated highest have been selected to provide construction management and inspection services.  Based on evaluation results, DUDEK rated highest in qualifications and JIG Consultants second highest in its ability to provide construction management and inspection services for various project in an as-needed basis.  The following is a summary of the ratings with the highest total being the most qualified:
