Committee authorizes up to $250,000 for GPI construction engineering on Island Street project
Summary
Facing labor shortages and multiple bid rounds, staff recommended hiring Greenman-Pedersen Inc. (GPI) for construction engineering services for the Island Street infrastructure improvements; the committee recommended authorization of an agreement not to exceed an aggregate $250,000.
Public works staff told the committee the Island Street infrastructure improvements project had been bid multiple times, that staff have struggled to hire required engineering and inspection personnel, and that Greenman-Pedersen Inc. (GPI) offered the most competitive price and availability to provide construction engineering and inspection services.
Staff said GPI would oversee quantities, act as clerk of the works, and ensure adherence to contract documents; City staff explained the work will be funded from existing sewer, water and highway project funds and that no additional citywide appropriation was requested. The contract was described as not-to-exceed an aggregate amount of $250,000, and staff noted the city would still be managing multiple projects with GPI resources shared across efforts.
A councilor moved to recommend that the city manager be authorized to execute an agreement with Greenman-Pedersen Inc. for construction engineering services during construction for Island Street infrastructure improvements in an aggregate amount up to $250,000; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The committee announced the meeting adjourned afterward.
