Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This service contract will provide non-engineering environmental consulting, investigative, and remediation services as needed for City projects, including bond construction projects. Services under this agreement include, but are not limited to, evaluating environmental and financial risk associated with property transactions and improvements, and maintaining compliance with state and federal regulations including Texas Risk Reduction Program, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and Solid Waste Disposal Act.
Specific services under this agreement include Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessment to investigate potential or known soil/ground water contamination prior to property transaction. Additional services include remediation of contaminated soil or groundwater, investigation and removal of underground storage tanks on City property, investigation of soil during utility line installation, air quality service, and asbestos consulting. These services assist the City in protecting human health and the environment while ensuring that the City appropriately considers and manages environmental risk.
Awarded firms also provide analytical laboratory testing as needed to support the environmental consulting, investigation, and remediation services. Analytical laboratory testing includes, but is not limited to, analysis of samples for compliance with state and federal regulations.
Departments will manage the vendor utilization according to specialization, demand, and capacity of each vendor for each service required through project specific work orders. The Office of Environmental Quality will provide internal consulting services to assist and support departments in the management of this contract.
A seven-member committee from the following departments reviewed and evaluated the qualifications:
• Department of Aviation (1)
• Department of Public Works (1)
• Department of Sanitation Services (1)
• Office of Environmental Equality (1)
• Park & Recreation Department (1)
• Small Business Center (1)
• Water Utilities Department (1)
The committee selected the successful respondent using a two-step evaluation process. In the first step of selection respondents were evaluated on the basis of demonstrated qualifications under the following criteria:
• Municipal contracting experience 20 points
• Service area specific evaluations criteria 20 points
• Quality of past performance as demonstrated by references 15 points
• Business Inclusion and Development 15 points
• Personnel qualifications 10 points
• Firm qualifications 5 points
• Certifications 5 points
• Current workload 5 points
• Specialized service provider 5 points
In the second step of selection respondents were evaluated on the basis of demonstrated competence and merit of their proposals under the following criteria:
• Expertise by service 40 points
• Capability and capacity 30 points
• Quality of past performance as demonstrated by references 30 points
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County by Resolution No. 15-2141. The current calculated living wage during the solicitation process of this contract is $15.21; the selected vendor meets this requirement.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On September 14, 2016 City Council authorized to execute multiple vendor service contracts for non- engineering environmental consulting, investigative and remediation services for a term of four years by Resolution No. 16-1425.
