Staff Report

TOPIC: On -Call Engineering Services
AGENDA TITLE
Amend Agreements With GK & Associates, Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., Penco, a
Cannon Company, Project Partners, Inc., and Transtech Engineers, Inc. to Increase the
Shared Contract Amount by $2,500,000 for On -call Engineering, Technical, and
Administrative Support Services (General and Non -General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute amendments to the agreements with GK &
Associates, Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., Penco, a Cannon Company, Project
Partners, Inc., and Transtech Engineers, Inc. to increase the shared contract amount by
$2,500,000, for a total shared aggregate amount not to exceed $7,500,000, for
engineering, technical, and administrative support services for the remaining term of the
agreement, beginning May 18, 2021, through July 15, 2022, including the two-year
renewal option, if needed, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City
Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
Along with overseeing all aspects of civil engineering for capital improvement projects,
including managing project design and construction, the City of Santa Ana's Public Works
Agency also supports citywide development and utility permit -related services. Public
Works contracts with consultant firms to provide temporary staffing to perform a variety
of these tasks, including processing permits and the design, management, and inspection
of construction projects.
The Agency is experiencing an increased workload as new programs are being
implemented. In order to adhere to time -sensitive project delivery schedules, keep pace
with projects and programs (particularly those involving grants and/or restricted funding),
and to continue providing services in support of development activity that exceeds staff
capacity during peak periods, increased contract capacity is needed to temporarily
augment staffing.
On July 16, 2019, the City Council approved agreements with the following five
consultants for on -call engineering, technical, and administrative support staffing services

in a shared aggregate amount not to exceed $2,500,000 for a five-year period; GK &
Associates, Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., Penco, a Cannon Company, Project
Partners, Inc., and Transtech Engineers, Inc. On July 21, 2020, the City Council approved
amendments to the agreements to increase the shared contract amount by $2,500,000,
for a total shared aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000, for engineering, technical,
and administrative support services for the remaining term of the agreement.
Due to the ongoing vacancies and increased development activity, the agreement
capacity is being consumed at a higher rate than expected. Therefore, increased contract
capacity is needed. The added capacity of the contracts will be reduced once grant -
funded vacancies are filled or when development activity slows. Staff recommends
approving the amendments to the agreements in order for contract capacity to be
increased (Exhibits 1-5).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact at this time. Prior to utilizing any of these on -call services, Public
Works staff must receive Finance & Management Services Agency approval of funding

task orders exceeding $5,000, a corresponding Notice to Proceed containing specific
scope and maximum expenditure for the task order will be issued to a firm.
