Council OKs larger subsurface utility engineering contract for three bond projects
Summary
Council approved raising a Cobb Finley master service agreement from $150,000 to $850,000 to deliver subsurface utility engineering and coordination for Austin Street, West Go Forth and Old Black Colony projects, which staff said were budgeted and are entering phases that require detailed utility work.
Council authorized an increase to a master service agreement with Cobb Finley and Associates from $150,000 to $850,000 to provide subsurface utility engineering (SUE) and utility coordination for three bond projects: Austin Street, West Go Forth and Old Black Colony.
Staff said the services were anticipated and budgeted within each project but the city had not assigned a single vendor; Cobb Finley was selected based on prior performance and task orders were defined for SUE services and coordination for each corridor. The amendment bundles several task orders (SUE for each project and utility coordination) under one experienced consultant so work can proceed at the 60% design milestone.
Council emphasized that the city’s project budgets were not increased and that this MSA amendment reallocates planned SUE expenditures to a single vendor; staff said that combining task orders can offer economies of scale and continuity across corridors. Council approved the authorization by voice vote.
