DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On behalf of Marion County Solid Waste (SW), a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was advertised to contract with qualified firms capable of providing professional services on an as needed basis. Services generally fall into one of five (5) major categories: engineering services, construction management & quality assurance, environmental compliance & testing services, special services, and environmental construction, maintenance and repair. Four (4) submittals were received and evaluated by the Selection Committee, with all four (4) being recommended for contract. Solid Waste Director, Mark Johnson, supports the Selection Committee’s recommendation, as this number supports the amount of effort needed to fairly manage and equitably distribute task orders over the five (5) year contract term.
Proposed classification rates were provided to all firms for review, and the negotiation team established a standardized fee schedule and scope, as outlined in the attached draft contract.
Upon approval at today’s meeting, identical contracts will be sent out to each firm, and once returned, will be forwarded to Legal, the Clerk, and Chairman for signatures.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None; task orders will be negotiated individually, as assigned. Task orders that exceed the County Administrator's approval threshold will be brought before the Board for review and approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve recommendation, allow Staff to issue contracts, and upon approval by Legal, authorize the Chairman to execute contracts for Stearns, Conrad, and Schmidt, Consulting Engineers, Inc. d/b/a SCS Engineers, S2L Incorporated, Jones, Edmunds and Associates, Inc, Integrity Environmental Solutions LLC under RFQ 25Q-090.
