EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The existing on-call contract with the Miller Pacific Engineering Group (MPEG) is for geotechnical engineering, materials testing, inspections and related services. The Board of Supervisors awarded the current professional service agreement on June 18, 2019, annually for 3 years, to expire June 30, 2022. The existing contract has been adequate for support in the past, however, the 2021 construction season has met with significant challenges, as well as an increase in volume of services required.
The Silverado Trail Phases K & M Paving Projects, RDS 20-03A & 20-03B have met significant challenges in construction, including the need for additional materials testing, overtime night rates for inspections, review of poor site conditions and materials deficiencies, with reports and recommendations. The Phase K & M projects scopes with MPEG were initially scheduled to fit within the limits of the current on-call contract annual limit of $200,000 for Fiscal Year 21/22. These two projects alone require $200,000, while other Public Works projects also require similar services. This amendment now increases the total amount of funds available for services to $400,000, as needed to multiple active projects.
