CONTRACT RENEWAL FOR GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTING
SERVICES .......\\
CAROLYN LEHR,CITY MANAGERCY--
So Kim,Assistant Planner 0fV
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an extension of the current professional services
agreement with Kling Consulting Group,Inc.to provide geology and geotechnical engineering
consulting services on an as~needed basis to the City for an additional two year period until June 30,
2013.
BACKGROUND
Due to the complex soils and geology of the Palos Verdes Peninsula,the Community Development
Department contracts on an as-needed basis for the professional services of licensed geologists
and soils engineers.Since 1997,the firm of Zeiser Kling Consultants,Inc (Zeiser Kling)has served
as the City's primary geotechnical consultant for reviewing private development proposals and
certain City projects.The original contract with Zeiser Kling was approved by the City Council on
October 7,1997.Contract extensions were approved by the City Council in 1998,1999,2000,
2001,2003, 2004,2006,2007 and 2009.On February 28,2011,the current contract was
reassigned from Zeiser Kling Consultants,Inc.to Kling Consulting Group.This contract is set to
expire on June 30,2011.Staff is recommending that the current geology contract be extended for
an additional 2 years at this time,so it expires on June 30,2013.
DISCUSSION
As the City's primary geotechnical consultant,Kling Consulting Group,provides a variety of
specialized services.These include reviewing geology reports for development projects that range
from additions to single family residences to major projects,such as new subdivisions and large
non-residential projects;conducting field inspections of proposed construction,as requested by the
City's Building Official;and providing advice to the City on drainage issues,illegal grading activities
or any other geological issues that may arise.
Specifically,Kling Consulting Group is responsible for the geotechnical review of all of the
development projects that are approved by the Department.This primarily includes conducting site
visits to determine if geotechnical or soils reports will be required,reviewing and commenting on
18A-1
submitted geotechnical and soils reports,and meeting with planners,building inspectors and the
public to answer a variety of questions dealing with submitted reports.These services are paid for
by project applicants through set geologic review fees (the fee schedule is attached).In addition,
when requested to do so,Kling Consulting Group geologists assist Staff in processing view
restoration cases (tree removal on slopes),assessing the severity of code enforcement cases
(illegal grading),attend meetings and conduct any other as-needed investigations on behalf of the
City's Community Development and Public Works departments.These additional services,which
are billed at an hourly rate,are generally not a part of a fixed fee process but are paid for from the
Department budget or from Trust Deposit accounts established by private individuals.
No change to the scope of work is being proposed by Kling Consulting Group or is being requested
by Staff at this time.Additionally,Kling Consulting Group intends to retain the same key personnel.
Furthermore,no changes are proposed to their hourly billing rates or geology review fees that are
paid by the project applicants.
Given the level of service provided to the City thus far and the expectation that it will continue,Staff
is recommending that the Kling Consulting Group contract be renewed for two (2)years for the
following reasons:
1)Kling Consulting Group,previously known as Zeiser Kling Consultants,has provided
competent and responsive service to the City and its residents over the last twelve years.
2)Kling Consulting Group geologists have built a strong knowledge of the unique geologic
conditions found on the Palos Verdes Peninsula,which would be difficult to match or
surpass by a new firm.This body of knowledge will be retained,as Zeiser Kling proposes no
changes to its key personnel serving the City.
3)When requested to do so by Staff,Kling Consulting Group established a fixed fee system for
geologic review in 2000 and has continued to ensure that the system is fairly implemented.
The four categories of fees (see attached fee schedule)established in 2000 have made it
much easier for applicants since they know what the review fees will be up-front.In addition,
the set fees have eliminated the need for City Staff to track overruns on trust deposit
accounts or the need to collect additional funds from applicants.Furthermore,there are no
proposed increases to the set fees with the new 2-year contact.
4)When requested to do so by Staff,Kling Consulting Group created guidelines in 2002 to
assist the public in determining what types of projects would require soils/geology reports.
This information,which is provided to potential applicants in a hand-out (attached),allows
applicants to begin the preparation of geology reports early in the process and also helps
avoid the preparation of unnecessary reports.
5)Although it's been over ten years since an RFP has been prepared for geotechnical
services,staff does not believe it would be cost effective to prepare an RFP at this time due
to Kling Consulting Group's performance,lack of fee increase and experience with the City's
review process.This is because there would be a cost to prepare the RFP and evaluate
candidates and at least from the staff's perspective,there's no compelling reason to seek
out other firms at this time.
18A-2
CONCLUSION
Kling Consulting Group is a highly qualified firm,with extensive experience and professional
credentials,and is familiar with the unique geologic conditions found on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
This experience has been enhanced through the work completed on behalf of the City over the last
ten years.The review services provided have met Staffs needs and expectations.As such,Staff
supports continuing the contract with this firm for an additional two years in accordance with the
attached Services Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
Renewal of the contract would not result in any additional fiscal impacts,as the City's proposed FY
11-12/FY 12-13 budget includes $150,000 per fiscal year for geotechnical consulting services for the
review of privately initiated project geotechnical reports.This amount is based on the expected
amount of development activity for the fiscal year period,and is expected to be approximately equal
to the amount of revenue collected from the geologic review fees.Thus far in FY 10-11 (through
February),total revenue collected is $82,055 and total expenditures are $67,655.
ALTERNATIVES
In addition to Staffs recommendation,the following alternatives are available for consideration by
the City Council:
1.Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a contract for only one year.
2.Direct Staff to make additional modifications to the proposed contract and bring the revised
contract back for further discussion at a future meeting.
3.Direct Staff to issue a new Request for Proposal (RFP).
