CC SR 20250401 I - On Call Construction Mgmt and Inspection
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 04/01/2025
AGENDA REPORT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar
AGENDA TITLE:
Consideration to amend four professional services agreements for pre-qualified on-call
construction management and inspection services
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
(1) Approve Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreements with
Integrated Engineering Management, Z&K Consultants, Inc., Transtech
Engineers, Inc. and Sunbeam Consulting, Inc. for on-call construction
management and inspection services for additional two-year terms and include
escalation of rates by request from consultant(s), subject to City Council approved
appropriated project budgets; and
(2) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the amendment(s), in forms
approved by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no budget/cost impact to amending the pre-qualified on-call
list as this amendment does not obligate the City to fund nor issue any task orders or
assignments. Any costs associated with these services will be defined in individual task
orders and funded by the specific capital project budget or operating budget, when
needed. VR

I. November 1, 2022 City Council Staff Report
BACKGROUND:
As a contract city, Rancho Palos Verdes does not have the capacity to perform all
construction management and inspection services in-house. Therefore, the City uses on-
call consulting companies to provide those professional services, when needed. This is
consistent with Public Works’ past practice of using consultant services to augment City
Staff and provide support services.
The on-call list can be used for a variety of construction management and inspection
services, including oversight of construction inspectors, construction record keeping,
construction inspection, site safety inspection, materials testing , and various other
associated work.
Establishing a pre-qualified on-call list of construction management and inspection
services firms allows Staff to reduce time spent soliciting proposals, reviewing
qualifications, evaluating proposals, negotiating fees and contract terms, and awarding
contracts for each individual work assignment after the procurement code limit of $25,000
per company per year limit is reached. Furthermore, the pre-qualified on-call list does not
obligate the City to request work from any company or expend any funds. These on-call
contracts can only be used when City Council first appropriates a project budget or
operating budget.
Through a competitive solicitation documented in the November 1, 2022 City Council Staff
Report (Attachment I), Staff reached agreement on fees and terms with four companies:
Integrated Engineering Management (IEM), Z&K Consulting (Z&K), Transtech Engineers,
Inc. and Sunbeam. The agreements establish hourly rates based on common staff
classifications and are the basis for fees for individual task orders.
DISCUSSION:
The agreements are for an initial term of three years expiring on November 1, 2025 with
the option to extend for an additional two-year term. Furthermore, the original solicitation
seeking proposals from qualified firms stated that any approved agreements would
include an annual escalation of rates based on the consumer price index (CPI – Los
Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim) for the month of July and by request from consultant(s)
2
for each contract year. However, this rate escalation provision was mistakenly left out of
the executed agreements.
As such, the City and all four firms would like to amend the agreements to honor and
include the rate escalation provision and exercise the two year term extension through
November 1, 2027. To correct the missed escalation of rates, the City will cumulatively
apply the July 2023 (2.7%) and July 2024 (3.4%) CPI to the original contract rates. These
new rates will become effective with new task orders. Any future rate escalations must be
requested by the consultant no later than September and will become effective in
November of the contract year.
These four companies will continue to constitute the pre-qualified on-call list of
consultants to provide as-needed construction management and inspection services for
an additional two years. This on-call list does not preclude Staff from issuing separate
solicitations whenever determined to best meet the City’s needs.
Task Order Procedure
As Staff identifies the need for construction management and inspection services, Staff
will issue a request with a description of the work to be performed and a schedule for
completion based on a City Council approved project or operating budget appropriation.
A request may be issued to one or more companies based on availability to complete the
work within a certain timeframe, specialty sub-discipline, or any other factor that is in the
best interest of the City. At no time is the City obligated to issue any requests to any of
the companies that are on the on-call contract list. The companies receiving the request
shall prepare a task proposal documenting the scope of work, fee to perform the work
(based on previously agreed-upon rates), and schedule for completion. The Contract
Officer shall approve, modify, or reject the proposal, and issue a Notice to Proceed when
a written agreement has been reached with a company on the task proposal. The task
shall be performed at a cost not exceeding the task budget.
CONCLUSION:
To most efficiently obtain needed on-call construction management and inspection
professional services, Staff recommends the City Council approve the one additional two-
year extension for professional services and allow escalation of rates based on CPI to
Integrated Engineering Management, Z&K Consultants, Inc., Transtech Engineers, Inc.
and Sunbeam Consulting.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action s are available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Reject two-year extension and re-solicit the services.
3
2. Reject escalation of rates and direct staff to renegotiate fixed rates for the two-year
extension, which may result in higher initial rates.
3. Take other action, as deemed appropriate.
