Title

Motion 22-512, authorizing the County Executive to sign the 2023-2025 On-Call Consultant Services Master Agreements for the Conservation and Natural Resources Discipline

body

DEPARTMENT:  Conservation and Natural Resources

ORIGINATOR:  Lori Ericsson (White)

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Ken Klein 11/23/22

PURPOSE: The 2023-2025 Conservation and Natural Resources On-Call Consultant Services Program will allow the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to utilize consultants on an on-call as-needed basis on time critical projects, and for projects where required staffing and/or expertise is not available.

BACKGROUND: Historically, CNR (previously as SWM and Parks) 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 forty-seven (47) consultants responding to RFQ-22-006SB, for On-Call Consultant Services, and were selected through established Federal, State and County policies and practices.   Nineteen (19) 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 $14,300,000.00
