SA SUE MCDERMOTT, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEE~ BUD OSMUNDSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WO SICITY ENGINEER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 00- AUTHORIZING WSB & ASSOCIATES, INC. TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION SERVICES FOR DEVELOPER INSTALLED IMPROVEMENTS. DISCUSSION: HISTORY With each development agreement, the City of Prior Lake collects a construction observation fee equal to 6% of the developer installed improvements. This fee pays for the cost of construction observation. The City had been using the consulting firm of OSM & Associates, Inc. to provide these services since September of 1999. As of December 31, 1999, OSM & Associates is no longer in business. The City Council previously authorized the staff to utilize an interim consultant until proposals could be solicited and a more long term agreement reached. This agenda item proposes the selection of a firm to provide construction observation services to the city on a continuing basis for developer installed improvements. CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES City staff sent requests for proposals to the following companies: 1. Bolton & Menk, Inc. 2. WSB & Associates 3. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates 4. SEH/RCM, Inc. 5. Schoel! & Madson, Inc. 6. Hansen Thorp Pellinen Olson, Inc. In the proposals, the consulting firms were required to specify a construction inspector with a minimum of five (5) years of similar experience who would be assigned to Prior lake projects. References were also requested. Based on the proposals and references, staff recommends that the construction inspection services contract be awarded to WSB & Associates. WSB currently provides similar services for other communities in the metropolitan area. ~~gle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 1 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER FISCAL IMPACT: ALTERNATIVES: WSB.DOC The proposed WSB staff member to perform the construction observation duties for the City has 19 years experience. Currently he is responsible for construction observation in the City of Rosemount for developer and City initiated projects and has also worked on improvement projects in the City of Northfield. If selected, his top priority will be City of Prior Lake projects. Although this is a professional services contract and not subject to the low bidder, OSM's 1999 rate for construction observation was $65.00 per hour as compared WSB's current rate of $57.00 per hour. The hourly rates for the six firms we received proposals from ranged from $48.60 to $88.00 per hour. In making the recommendation to utilize WSB, staff considered the experience of the primary inspector, hourly rate, and commitment to Prior lake projects. The reason staff is not recommending the inspector with the lowest hourly rate is because he is unavailable immediately and the backup inspector's hourly. rate is $66.15 per hour. A copy of WSB's proposal is attached to this report. ISSUES There are several final plats (Knob Hill 5th Addition, Glynwater 3rd Addition and Deerfield) currently under review by the Development Review Committee. Construction observation services will be necessary for these developments. CONCLUSION Staff recommends award of the construction observation contract to WSB & Associates. A fee for construction observation is required with each Development Contract. These services would be paid from the 6% fee. Staff will monitor the construction observation budget for each development project to ensure the budget is not exceeded. There are three alternatives for the City Council to consider: 1. Approve Resolution OO-XX authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a Standard Professional Services Contract with WSB & Associates, Inc. to provide construction observation services for developer installed improvements. 2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction. 3. Table this item until some date in the future. 2 RECOMMENDED MOTION: WSB.DOC ... ~ .- A motion and second to approve Resolution OO-XX authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a Standard Professional Services Contract with WSB & Associates, Inc. to provide construction observation services for developer installed improvements.
