THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development established a County Business Enterprise (CBE) participation goal for this Agreement of 20%. A CBE participation goal of 0% was established for this Work Authorization. As of September 18, 2018, Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. has been paid $9,472,625 with $1,771,332 paid to CBE firms, yielding 18.7% participation. Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. maintains that they will achieve their original goal of 20% CBE participation with the additional services contained in this Agreement.
On June 24, 2008 (Item No. 28), the Board of County Commissioners approved the Agreement between Broward County and Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., for General Consultant Services for Water and Wastewater Services, Request for Letter of Interest No. 20060911-0-EED-1, for services associated with the overall management, planning, design, procurement, construction and operation of storm water, water and wastewater facilities and infrastructure owned and operated by the County for a total not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000 per year for two years from the date of the executed agreement, with three one-year extensions, which rendered the contract with an expiration date for the execution of new work authorizations thereunder of June 24, 2013.
On May 24, 2011, Work Authorization HS0742 was issued to provide engineering design and services during construction for the replacement of Digester No. 3 Cover at the North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The parties entered subsequent amendments which extended the current termination date to January 28, 2017. Due to the complexity involved with permitting and coordination of numerous simultaneous improvements at the North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, additional time was needed to complete the construction phase of the Digester No. 3 project. The proposed third amendment will extend the termination date an additional 180 calendar days to July 27, 2017 and increase the work authorization price by the amount of $31,995.
A Sunshine meeting was held to negotiate the Amendment on April 11, 2018 for additional engineering services during construction at the North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. This meeting was attended by representatives of Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. and Broward County Water and Wastewater Engineering Division staff. |
