Amount ofThis Request: $0 Source of Funds: Current and Future Operating Budgets; ' - Future Individual Project Authorizations Maximum Cumulative Value of IDIQ Contracts: $8,100,000 ACTION REQUESTED: Request Commission authorization for the ChiefExecutive Ofcer to execute up to 13 indenite delivery, indenite quantity (IDIQ) service agreements for services related to construction management, scheduling, estimating, auditing, claims analysis, and safety monitoring in support ofAviation, Seaport, and Real Estate Division Construction projects in an amount not to exceed $8,] 00,000, with an ordering period ofthree years. No funding is associated with this . authorization request. SYNOPSIS: Staff anticipates issuing up to 13 IDIQ contracts to provide six different types of consultant services to support the Port's Construction Management and Construction Safety staffon major construction projects for all core business units. ,With the uctuating project workload, ]DIQ contracts provide the Port with the exibility to meet business requirements as they arise by, issuing individual service directives to accomplish tasks within a general, predened scope of work on an as-needed basis for a xed period of Lime and a maximum contract amount. The Port's Ofce of Social Responsibility will assist in identifying any small business opportunities prior to the-time ofpublic advertisement ofthe IDIQ contracts. Competitivelybid IDIQ contracts are a widely used public sector contracting tool, consistent With'the Port's Resolution No. 3605, as amended, and governed by CPO-1 policy. COMMISSION AGENDA Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Ofcer December 4, 2012 Page 2 of 4 BACKGROUND : The number of outside technical services agreements that the Port enters into is substantial, and there is a signicant amount of time and effort required to process each agreement. As an example, some ofthe administration activities required include long-leadtime advertisements, consultant interviews, consultant selection and negotiation, contract preparation, and insurance requirements. These activities inhibit rapid response and reduce the management and staff time available for other engineering and construction activities. Signicant economic efciencies can be obtained by reducing the number of selection processes. This authorization will only authorize the execution of the contracts. A service directive will be issued for each project authorizing the consultant to perform a specied scope of work only after staff has received authorization for the project in accordance with Port policies and procedures. The not-toexceed cost for each contract is listed below for a threeyear contract ordering period. meager DESCRIPTION/scorn OF WORK: Within the next three years, over 60 projects are identied as having construction costs over $300,000 for an overall estimated total construction cost of over $500 million, the majority for the Aviation division. To support the construction management of these projects, six requests for proposals (RFPs) would be issued to execute a number of IDIQ agreements, allowing consultants to support construction management services, cost estimating, construction scheduling, construction auditing, construction claims, and construction safety monitoring. The goal is to have the rst ofthese service agreements in place by the beginning of July 2013 and stagger the advertisement and execution ofthe remaining contracts through November 2013. Each contract will have a request for qualications (RFQ) prepared and advertised separately. Each RFQ will include goals for small business participation. Each contract will have a contract ordering period of three years during which the services may be separately authorized. The actual contract duration may extend beyond three years in order to complete the work identied in a particular service directive. The Port will not issue service directives in excess of each contract's value. The types, numbers, amounts, and durations of consultant services are established based on projected needs of the Capital Improvement Programs for Aviation, Seaport, and the Real Estate divisions. The individual selection committees can award multiple smaller service agreements within the requested amounts listed below based upon the consultant submittals and Port goals for small business opportunities. COMMISSION AGENDA Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Ofcer December 4, 2012 Page 3 of4 Service Agreements anticipated forsolicitation by Engineering include: Construction Consultant Service Dollar Value Number of Contracts Construction Management $ 5,000,000 3 Construction Scheduling $ 500,000 2 Construction Estimating $ 500,000 2 Construction Auditing Services $ 500,000 2 Construction Claims $ 1,000,000 2 Construction Safety Services $ 600,000 2 Total 83 8,100,000 13 Depending on the response to the RFQS, staff anticipates executing sewice agreements for up to two separate rms for each consultant service except for construction management services, where three service agreements are anticipated. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS: 1. Do nothing Under this alternative the Port's Engineering Department would not proceed with advertising and awarding IDIQ services agreements. This altemative would require the lengthy and costly process of selecting consultants for each task, thus requiring increased lead time, additional management oversight, additional administrative preparation, and increased advertising fees. This is not a viable alternative if the Port is committed to best practices for capital project delivery and meeting our business sponsor needs. Delay the advertisement and award of these IDIQ contracts. Existing contracts are near their contract limits or are set to expire between December 2013 and November 2014. Delays in contract procurement may cause suspension of work assigmnents, project impacts, schedule delays, and increased costs. Advertise and execute IDIQ services agreements to allow for the efcient and cost effective use of consultants to provide the technical services required by Engineering. This is the recommended alternative. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Source ofFunds: There is no inding request associated with this authorization. Individual seivicc directives will be executed to authon'ze the Consultant to perform any specic work on the contract against approved project authorizations. TRIPLE. BOTTOM LINE: These lDIQ contracts create opportunities for small businesses participation. COMMISSION AGENDA Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Ofcer December 4, 2012 Page 4 of4 PROJECT SCHEDULE: It is estimated these IDIQ contracts will be executed in the second Quarter of 201 3 through the fourth Quarter 017201 3 and will have a three-year ordering period. The contract durations may extend beyond that period to allow work to be completed. OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUEST: None. PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTIONS 0R BRIEFINGS: None.
