DEPARTMENT:  DCNR

 

ORIGINATOR:  Connie Price/Lori Ericsson

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Tom Teigen 10/30/26

 

PURPOSE: Approval of 2027-2029 On-Call Consultant Services Master Agreements for the Conservation and Natural Resources Discipline with Anchor QEA, LLC, Broadview Planning, LLC, Environmental Science Associates, Inc., HDR Engineering, Inc. HNTB Corporation, Hough Beck and Baird, Inc., Natural System Design, Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, Inc. Osborn Consulting, Inc., Otak, Inc., Shea, Carr & Jewell, Inc. dba SCJ Alliance, Tetra Tech, Inc. True Wind Collaborative, Watershed Science and Engineering, Inc. and WSP USA, Inc.

 

BACKGROUND: Historically, CNR has used consultants through the On-Call program to perform work where the required expertise or County staff is not available.  This work is always performed under the direction of a Project Manager employed by the County. Since project volume and the required expertise for certain elements of the approved projects are not available through County staff, CNR has determined a need for the continued use of on-call consultants. The above referenced consultants were the highest ranking of the sixty-nine (69) consultants responding to RFQ-26-0705BC, for On-Call Consultant Services, and were selected through established Federal, State and County policies and practices.   Fifteen (15) Conservation and Natural Resource Services Agreements have been negotiated under a Professional Services Master Agreement.  The scope and cost of each project will be negotiated under task assignments that will be authorized by the Department Director or designee CNR intends to perform work in-house, to the extent possible.  The Master Agreements clearly state that the County does not guarantee that any services shall be requested, nor does it guarantee any specific dollar amount of work during the term of the Agreement. Total payments for services under the Conservation and Natural Resources Master Agreements shall not exceed the umbrella amount of $14,550,000.00
