RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute a second amendment to the consulting agreement with Contractor Compliance and Monitoring, Inc. of San Mateo, California in an amount of $35,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $183,802 for the construction phase of the Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project (CIP Project No. ss1301). CCMI provides labor compliance monitoring services for the construction phase of the Project and post project auditing.
Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City selected Contractor Compliance and Monitoring, Inc. (CCMI) through a competitive proposal process. The City executed a contract with CCMI on October 29, 2018, to develop and monitor a Labor Compliance Program (LCP) per California Labor Code, the Department of Industrial Relations, and Federal Wage Requirements (Davis-Bacon Act), for the Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project currently under construction. The State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan requirements dictate the development and monitoring of an LCP.
CCMI’s original scope of work defined 48 monthly audits. CCMI’s first audit occurred in November 2019, and the 48th audit occurred in October 2022. The project is now expected to extend approximately two additional months and thus will require two additional audits that are outside CCMI’s contracted scope.
In addition to CCMI’s LCP audits, staff anticipates that CCMI will need to assist the City with preparing for and responding to an expected project close-out compliance inspection by the California State Revolving Fund (SRF) auditors. This assessment was not predicted at the time of the original agreement and was therefore not in CCMI’s scope, and staff considers an SRF audit to be very likely based upon conversations among professional peers. CCMI has done an exceptionally thorough job on the project, as their work has been observed to be very complete, and the firm was complemented by SRF personnel during site checks.
Additional contract authority in the amount of $35,000 is necessary to cover the two additional monthly audits by CCMI, and the assistance related to the project close-out audit by SRF staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding for this amendment exists in the City of South San Francisco Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project (CIP Project No. ss1301).
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Approval of this action contributes to the City’s Strategic Plan by providing a better quality of life for residents by improving public infrastructure and water quality.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the amendment and authorize the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the Consulting Agreement with Contractor Compliance and Monitoring, Inc. of $35,000 for a total not to exceed the amount of $183,802.
