SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Public
Works
Prepared by: ` ''' '" ity Manager Approv"
Director of Public Works
File No.: 01.01.02.01
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSALS FROM MILLER PACIFIC
ENGINEERING GROUP AND ENGEO, INC. FOR ON-CALL GEOTECHNICAL
ENGINEERING AND MATERIAL TESTING SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING
THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
AGREEMENTS WITH MILLER PACIFIC ENGINEERING GROUP AND ENGEO,
INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $75,000.00 PER YEAR, EACH.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to enter into professional service agreements
with Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. for on-call geotechnical engineering and
material testing services.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department requires on-call geotechnical engineering and material testing services for
various capital improvement and private development related projects. These services may include, but
are not limited to, environmental site assessments, slide and erosion analysis with repair
recommendations, response to emergency landslides and earth movement, soil foundation investigations,
geological hazardous studies, peer reviews for land development related projects, material sampling and
testing services, and geotechnical engineering consultations.
The Public Works Department does not have licensed geotechnical engineers or certified field technicians
on staff to provide necessary geotechnical engineering or material testing services. Material sampling and
testing is required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on federally funded projects
administered through Caltrans Office of Local Assistance. In addition, material testing on various City
and locally funded projects is required to ensure that the installed materials meet the City's specifications
and requirements.
Public Works staff prepared a Request for Qualifications and invited various geotechnical engineering
firms to submit Statements of Qualifications (Statement). Staff determined that it would be prudent to
enter into professional service agreements with two geotechnical engineering firms to ensure availability
to respond to material testing needs as well as emergencies and field meetings. Most agencies enter into
professional service agreements with more than one geotechnical firm for their general engineering

services for the same reason. The tasks for various engineering services will be divided between these
firms according to Public Works needs and the consultant's availability. For each task order, the
consultant will provide a specific scope of services and cost proposal for the Public Works Director's
approval.
ANALYSIS:
The Public Works Department solicited Statements and received five Statements from qualified firms on
lugust 28, 2014. All Statements were evaluated by City staff based on criteria specified in the Request
for Qualifications, including but not limited to, understanding of the work to be done, previous experience
with similar projects, qualified and experienced personnel on the project team, familiarity with state and
federal procedures, and commitment to adhering to the project schedule and budget. Three firms were
selected for interviews, which were conducted on September 18, 2014 with panel members consisting of
City staff and qualified consultants. Since all applicants were well qualified, it was exceptionally difficult
to identify two preferred design firms for this on-call contract. However, after some deliberation, the
panel selected Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. as the most qualified consultants for
this project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On-call contracts do not contain specific scopes of services, and the work may be sporadic. Therefore,
staff determined that an initial two-year contract with each firm in the amount not to exceed $75,000 per
year would provide the City the greatest flexibility in meeting its needs. Furthermore, each professional
service agreement will include a clause whereby the City, at its sole discretion, may twice extend the
existing contract for two additional years for a total possible contract length of six years. Contract
extensions must be mutually agreed upon by the Public Works Director and the consultants with a cost
not to exceed $75,000 per year, for each two year contract extension.
The cost of these services will be paid for out of various Capital Improvement Program project budgets,
land development application fees or Public Works operations.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt the resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to enter into professional service
agreements with Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. for on-call geotechnical
engineering and material testing services.
2. Do not authorize the Public Works Director to enter into a professional service agreement with
the recommended consulting firms and direct staff to release a new Request for Qualifications.
If this option is chosen, the City will be delayed and/or unable to perform material sampling and
testing on federally funded projects prior to completion of construction of said projects thereby
placing federal funds in jeopardy.
3. Do not authorize the Public Works Director to enter into a professional service agreement with
the recommended consulting firms and direct staff to stop work on the project. If this option is
chosen, the City will be out of compliance with federal law requiring material sampling and
testing on federally funded projects. Additionally, City staff may be unable to complete design
of projects or respond to emergencies requiring geotechnical engineering consultation.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Adopt the resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to enter into professional service agreements
with Miller Pacific Engineering Group and ENGEO, Inc. for on-call geotechnical engineering and
material testing services.

Project Management Approach
Our project management approach is sensible and communicative. By offering clients a project
team with all disciplines available, we can handle any issue that arises on a project site. The team
proposed is enthusiastic and ready to mobilize. The objective of our management approach is to
ensure technically proficient, timely and cost-effective execution of the project. In order to
provide services that are responsive to the initially defined needs while maintaining the technical
quality of final deliverables and budget/schedule control, ENGEO's project management for this
contract is designed to include the following features:
• Single point of client contact and accountability
• Backup in key management and technical positions
• Highest corporate commitment to the project
• Clear lines of reporting and authority
• Flexibility to expand or contract in response to project needs

dedicated to working closely with the project superintendent and anticipating your technical
needs in the field for inspection compliance. This provides a heightened level of responsiveness
to the County. This added level of field management interaction and QC oversight has proven
essential to overall project success.
Because ENGEO is committed to serving our clients, we can be reached during extended business
ours should a need arise. We will respond to the County's needs within the requested time frames, if
not sooner. We can provide the work products (AutoCAD files, points files, lab results, filed dailies,
etc.) in the formats requested by the County. We can arrange to provide customized invoicing as
requested to suit the needs of the County.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
ENGEO takes Quality Control seriously throughout all aspects of our services. The most
important ways we work to this goal on our projects are through our internal quality assurance
program and our knowledge of applicable codes and building standards.
Our management team develops cost estimates for multi -disciplined projects, including
environmental, design -level geotechnical exploration, earthwork observation and testing,
laboratory materials testing and special inspection services during construction. Whenever
possible, we perform interviews and discuss schedules with all other team members in an effort
to provide reasonably accurate schedules and budgets at the onset of construction.
ENGEO uses the DELTEK Financial Management System financial and accounting software.
Field, laboratory and office time and expenses are entered into the DELTEK system so accurate
project contract and financial information are available to our project managers on a daily basis.
Invoices are processed monthly with a series of electronic project status reports distributed to
Project Managers on a weekly basis for close monitoring of project budgets and control.
ENGEO field personnel prepare daily inspection reports on a web -based SQL database that we
developed in-house, named "EPICENTER." This new software allows our field reports and
compaction test data to be viewed in real time from any computer with an internet connection.
The reports can be reviewed and transmitted electronically from any computer as soon as they
are completed. Our field representatives are provided with laptop computers with wireless
internet access as well as smart phones.

TERMS
Invoices will be submitted at completion of work or at approximately four-week intervals and are due and payable
upon receipt. Statements will be issued at monthly intervals. Charges not paid within 30 days of invoice date will
accrue a late charge at a rate of 1.5 percent per month. In the event it becomes necessary to commence suit to collect
amount due, Client agrees to pay attorney's fees and costs, as the court may deem reasonable until amount is paid.
Fees will be applicable for one year from the effective date above; thereafter, fees will be adjusted annually. Our fees
will be billed using an invoice format produced by a standardized accounting software package. A more customized
itemization of charges and backup data will be provided upon Client's requests, but at additional fees. Final reports
may be withheld until outstanding invoices are paid in full.
Many risks potentially affect ENGEO by virtue of entering into this agreement to perform services on behalf of
client. A principal risk is the potential for human error by ENGEO. For client to obtain the benefit of a fee that
includes a nominal allowance for dealing with our liability, client agrees to limit ENGEO's liability to Client and all
other parties for claims arising out of our performance of the services described in the agreement. The aggregate
liability will not exceed $50,000 (or twice ENGEO's fee, whichever is greater, but not more than $1,000,000) for
professional acts, errors, or omissions, including attorney's fees and costs that may be awarded to the prevailing
party and client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ENGEO from and against all liabilities in excess of the
monetary limit established above.
