Approve Agreement with NCE (Nichols Consulting Engineers) for Pavement Management Consulting Services October 1, 2019 Page 2 NAME OF FIRM RANKING NCE (Nichols Consulting Engineers) 1 Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. 2 Dynatest 3 The proposal by NCE demonstrated necessary labor capacity and deliverables to complete the required services. The firm's rates are reasonable and within industry standard, the team qualifications are appropriate for this program, and the proposal was found to provide the best value for the City. The proposed fee, in the amount of $92,100, plus a ten percent contingency of $9,210, yields a recommended not -to -exceed total contract amount of $101,310 (Exhibit 1). A large proportion of the work under this agreement involves individual street assessments in the field, and most of that work will take place during the current fiscal year. However, the firm must be retained through 2022 for revisions to the Pavement Management analysis that may be requested by OCTA, or by State and Federal grant funding agencies, as needed, in order to assure the City maintains maximum funding eligibility. The proposed services also include optional mapping and Geographic Information System (GIS) support to help with the integration to the City's Asset Management System, currently under implementation. The mapping and GIS will be compatible across all other infrastructure that is being mapped for which the City is responsible.
