Title
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES BY MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Body
Summary and Background Information:
Michael Baker International, Inc. (“Michael Baker”) was awarded a contract as an On-Call General Consultant Engineering firm for the City of Commerce City on July 17, 2017, after the City posted a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for such services. Ten engineering firms, including Michael Baker, responded to the RFP. After evaluating the applicants, Michael Baker, Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. and Atkins North America, Inc. were selected. The Master Service Agreement (MSA) between the City and Michael Baker is nearing the $250,000 threshold that requires approval from City Council. Michael Baker’s Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) expires on June 12, 2019. We are requesting an additional $85,000 be added to the MSA so that Michael Baker can continue providing Traffic Engineering Services to the City until June 12, 2019. Michael Baker has done six work orders under their current MSA. Below is the cost and a description of each work order:

Staff Responsible (Department Head): Joe Wilson, Director of Public Works
Staff Member Presenting: Joe Wilson, Director of Public Works
Financial Impact: This will add an additional $85,000 to Michael Baker’s MSA. The total MSA amount would be $335,000.
Funding Source: Public Works/Engineering/Contract Services - requested $85,000 can be offset from Public Works/Engineering/Staff Salary
Staff Recommendation: Public Works is currently advertising for a City Traffic Engineer, but until that position is filled, we need outside consulting help to continue to address citizen concerns and to provide assistance with the operation of the traffic signal system. Staff recommends that Michael Baker’s MSA be authorized to spend an additional $85,000.
Suggested Motion: I move to approve resolution # 2019-17.
