The City of Santa Ana is planning various road widening and intersection projects on an as-needed basis. These projects include, but are not limited to: various phases of the Bristol Street Widening Project and the Grand Ave Widening Project from First St to Fourth St. From the proposals received, it is the City's goal to select one or two firms for these services. The actual number of consultants to be selected will depend on the availability of qualified firms, evidenced by the proposal process. The City will enter into separate agreements with each of these firms. Work will be assigned by Contract Task Orders. As tasks are identified, they will be distributed among these firms based upon their ability to perform the required work within the project schedule and budget constraints. The fee and a detailed scope of work will be outlined when a specific task is assigned to a consultant. The City reserves the right to distribute the work in any manner which will best serve the City's interests. Other Requirements In addition to the requirements set forth in the City's Sample Agreement for Professional Services, there may be other requirements imposed on a per project basis, especially for certain federally funded projects. Any such City requirement shall be provided to Consultant prior to obtaining a proposal for such a project. The City of Santa Ana's Sample Agreement for Professional Services is included herein as ATTACHMENT 5. The initial agreement term will be three (3) years, plus two (2) one-year option terms for a total of up to five (5) years. The City intends to award multiple contracts from this solicitation. Services will be performed under separate Contract Task Orders (CTO) issued following contract award. Within the general Scope of Work shown in ATTACHMENT 1, the City will, at its sole discretion, issue CTO's for specific tasks. CTO award will be based upon factors such as (1) experience in and understanding of the task, (2) capacity of the firm to perform the CTO work within the required time frame given on-going commitments to other work, (3) reasonableness and affordability of the price. There is no guarantee that any firm awarded a contract will receive a minimum amount of work through CTO's. Prevailing Wages CTO's issued under the Agreements awarded from this RFP may be funded under a financial assistance contract by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and as such will be subject to all conditions of the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a) and the Labor Code of the State of California commencing in Section 1770 et. seq. It is required that all mechanics, laborers and technicians subject to prevailing wages in their performance of services under the Agreements be paid not less than the current basic hourly rates of pay and fringe benefits. Page 3 of 27 19E-5 Wage schedules are available at the City's Offices or on the internet at: • www.dir.ca.qov/DLSR/statistics research.html • http://www.wdol.gov/dba.aspx#0 Consultants shall utilize the relevant prevailing wage determinations in effect on the date the CTO proposal request was received.
