body
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
ORIGINATOR: Julie.high@snoco.org
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved (Ken Klein 11/22/2024)
PURPOSE: Approval of the Professional Services Agreement CCF04-24 with KPFF, Inc. for Design Services, Larson Bridge 101 Seismic Retrofit
BACKGROUND:
Larson Road Bridge 101 was built in 1962 and carries Larson Road over the South Slough Stillaguamish River, west of the Silvana community. The existing bridge carries a two-lane road, classified as a Minor Collector Rural Road, with average daily traffic of 2,979 vehicles per day (2022 data). The bridge is 304 feet long and is on a seismic lifeline route with no convenient detour available.
KPFF, Inc. will provide design services for this seismic retrofit project through construction engineering and inspection support.
The Department of Public Works does not currently have the capacity to provide design services for this project, therefore, Public Works has determined a need for assistance from a consultant.
Through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), PW has solicited the services of a consultant to assist the County with these projects. KPFF, Inc. was one of two consulting firms responding to RFQ-24-009SB and was selected through established Federal, State and County policies and practices.
A Professional Services Agreement between Snohomish County and KPFF, Inc. was negotiated. The total budget for this ECAF is $636,069.15, which includes the agreement amount of $578,244.68 and an additional contingency amount of $57,824.47, for allowable unforeseen costs. The approving motion for the agreement authorizes the Public Works Director or Deputy Director to approve and execute amendments to the agreement within this total budgeted amount.
