AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Professional Services
Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc., of Rancho Cordova, for Labor
Compliance Services ($100,000)
MEETING DATE: March 20, 2019
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute Professional
Services Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc., of Rancho
Cordova, for labor compliance services, the amount of $100,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Department manages numerous state and
federally funded public works projects requiring labor compliance
oversight. An on-call agreement allows staff to comply with these
stringent requirements by employing a third party to complete the time consuming and time sensitive
tasks.
Staff requested quotes from seven companies specializing in labor compliance, receiving two written
quotes. This type of service allows for performance-based selection; however, Michael Baker
International, Inc., deemed most qualified, was also the low -bidder.
The scope of service includes payroll review for compliance with prevailing wage rates, contractor
interviews, and timely communication with prime contractors to obtain the correct documents from prime
contractors and subcontractors. The City has previously contracted with Michael Baker International, Inc.
on numerous other projects, some highly complex, such as Harney Lane Grade Separation, and their
performance has been prompt, professional, and thorough. The initial term of the Professional Services
Agreement is three years, with two optional one-year extensions. The total cost for this work is not -to -
exceed $100,000, over five years, if all extensions are executed.
Staff recommends authorizing City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreement with Michael
Baker International, Inc., of Rancho Cordova, for labor compliance services, the amount of $100,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If requirements are not meet, the City could jeopardize state and federal
funding for public works projects. This project is not anticipated to impact
the General Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The cost for this work will be allocated on a project -by -project basis.
