SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT

RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider an amendment to the contract for construction
materials and engineering services with Terracon Consultants, Inc.
FUNDINGSOURCE: Funds are available in the Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund,
Stormwater Drainage Utility System Fund, Utility Capital Projects Fund,
and Capital Projects General Facility Fund, in an amount not to exceed
$250,000.
BACKGROUND: A contract was awarded to Terracon Consultants, Inc. in the amount of
$250,000 on February 20, 2018. The purpose of this contract was to
establish third party support for construction materials and engineering
services required by the City for capital projects on an as -needed basis.
These services included geotechnical testing, materials testing, asbestos
materials testing, environmental testing, and inspection services. Staff
anticipated the $250,000 fee, originally approved by Council, would
support services for two years.
Since the award of the contract, 24 task orders have been created
appropriating over $200,000 of the original amount. The task orders
included material, environmental, and geotechnical testing for Public
Works (Roads — Boyd Drive, Nolen Drive, Nash & Berry intersection and
Shadybrook Drive; Utilities - I&I and WWTP projects), Bond Program (Fire
Stations 1, 2, 3 and 4, Animal Shelter and Golf Course), Police (USACE
Gun Range Environmental Assessment), CVB (Palace Theater),Parks
(softball facility, Green Ribbon projects, Bessie Mitchell House and Dog
Park).
Staff recommends an additional $250,000 be awarded to Terracon
Consultants, Inc. for future construction materials and engineering
services. Staff intends to continue to use this contract in support of
specific currently authorized capital facility, roadway, parks, storm drain,
and utility projects. This contract will also be used for small-scale projects
where testing is required.
Staff recommends approval.
