Resolution Authorizing the Use of
State of Florida Contract for General
Consultant Engineering Consultant
Services
RECOMMENDATION:
The administration respectfully recommends the adoption of the attached resolution authorizing the
City Manager to piggyback on an existing State of Florida Department of 'Transportation contract
(Contract No. C-8286) for general consultant engineering consultant services. In recognition of the
fact that municipal capital programs are cyclical by nature and that adding City staff is not in the best
long term interests of the City, the administration is requesting to partner with industry to advance
the delivery of the City's aggressive capital plan. Using the existing State of Florida contract will
provide the City needed project management expertise. Consul-Tech's staff will serve as an
extension of city staff to drive forward the capital plan.
The provider, Consul -Tech Engineeninj, Inc:, has successfully provided District Six (6) of the Florida
Department of Transportation with project management services. The utilization of this existing
contract will allow the administration to avoid a lengthy procurement process, which would likely
take approximately six (6) months. Per the existing contact, Consul -Tech will be asked to regularly
perform tasks including, but not limited to:
• Define project scopes;
• Prepare project estimates & budgets;
• Serve as program managers instituting process controls and project tracking mechanisms
to ensure timely project delivery;
• Develop templates for contract boiler plates for professional & contractor services; and
• Oversee construction for "push-button" contracts (i.e. landscaping, repaving, and
sidewalk construction) issued by the Public Works Department.
Pursuant to the requirements of Sect. 18-111 of the city code, the chief procurement officer has
rendered a determination that the State of Florida Contract, No. C-8286, was entered into pursuant
to competitive process in compliance with city laws, policies, and procedures. A copy of the chief
procurement officer's memorandum stating his finding is attached for your records.
FUNDING:
Funding for the recommended general consultant engineering consultant services is available in
Account No. 122001-2500106.6.840.
