body
BACKGROUND
Napa County released a “Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFQ)” in January 2025 for construction management and related services. The County intends to enter into an on-call Professional Service Agreements (PSA) with the top ranked consultant from the RFQ process to assist with various County projects on an as-needed basis.
A Public Works staff selection committee ranked MCK Americas Inc. (MCK) as the highest ranked consultant. The PSA will be established for a five (5) year period, from 2025 to 2030, and for a not to exceed amount of $1,000,000 per fiscal year. Entering into an on-call agreement with MCK will provide the support needed to complete a variety of projects and supplement internal resources when needed. If the Board approves the Agreement, then staff will request proposals from MCK for construction management services as needed and pay for consultant expenses from the project budget. By having on-call consultants, it reduces the time required for consultant selection and improves project delivery.
Requested Action:
1. Approve and authorize Agreement No. 250429B with MCK Americas Inc. for on-call construction management and related services for a maximum compensation of $1,000,000 per fiscal year.

|
Is it currently budgeted? |

|
Where is it budgeted? |
Various Capital Improvement Projects |
|

Discretionary |
|
Discretionary Justification: |

No |
|
Future fiscal impact: |
The proposed agreement expires June 17, 2030. Appropriations will be budgeted accordingly in future fiscal years. |

Consequences if not approved: |
County staff would need to prepare individual RFQs for every project, and in some cases, the cost to complete an individual RFQ could exceed the actual cost of the project. The consultant selection process can take several months to complete, and it is not always possible or practical to wait for this process on all projects. |
