Director Capital Improvements & Transportation Program (CITP) DATE: January 12, 2015 FILE: SUBJECT: Miscellaneous Environmental Engineering Services Contract Capacity increase - URS Corporation Southern ENCLOSURES FINDING: URS Corporation Southern is one of three (3) environmental engineering consultants selected under the Miscellaneous Environmental Engineering Services contract ("Contract") --issued pursuant to Request for Qualifications No. 10-11-045_- to provide comprehensive environmental services to include detailed facility assessment, geotechnical, surveying, and ongoing compliance monitoring and reporting on behalf of the City of Miami. At the onset of the Contract commencement, the City of Miami maintained an established list of nineteen (19) active environmental compliance projects with an estimated $2.05 million budgeted for the evaluation and development of strategic remediation and monitoring plans. Since execution of the Contract, Miami has experienced a significant increase in the discovery of additional contaminated publicly owned lands, in particular at former landfill sites that have been converted for use as public parks. As of the writing of this memorandum, the City now has twenty-eight (28) active environmental compliance projects and anticipates that additional public lands may eventually be placed onto the list of active environmental compliance projects as new contaminants are discovered on public lands by way of the existing site assessment program currently underway citywide. Additionally, this existing Contract is set to expire in August 2015; a new solicitation is expected to be issued to handle future environmental compliance projects. There is a need to increase capacity under the Contract and additionally to increase the capacity for each contractor selected under the Contract to be able to complete the existing list of environmental compliance projects and to secure the "No Further Action" approval from the Miami -Dade Department of Environmental and Resource Management ("DERM"). Approved: Daniel J. Alfa` p' CitjJlanager Funding: Increase capacity by $500,000 from the current capacity of $500,000 for a total amount to not exceed $1,000,000. cc: :.. ice N.
