GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Professional Services Agreements to provide on-call surveying services for collection system and treatment plant projects, PSA2022-002, for a three-year period effective May 1, 2022, for an amount not to exceed $200,000 per individual agreement ($800,000 total) with the following four firms:

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) uses outside specialty consultants for surveying services in support of the Capital Improvement Program, Small Construction Projects, and Maintenance Projects during the planning, design, and construction of facilities both inside the plants and for the collection systems.
RELEVANT STANDARDS

* 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons
* California Government Code ?4526: Select the "best qualified firm" and "negotiate fair and equitable fees"

PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award Professional Services Agreements to provide on-call surveying services. The agreements will cover a three-year period. The recommended contract amounts are based on the number and type of services utilized over the past three years, as well as the anticipated needs going forward for the next three years based on forecasted project workload. Staff will use these Consultants on an as-needed basis only. The total agreement cost is not guaranteed, nor is it paid to the Consultant if their services are not used.
