Consultant Services Agreement for Tustin Commuter Rail Station Construction Management March 20, 2000 Page 2 Construction of the Commuter Rail Station will at times require full time personnel to oversee the construction activities of this project. There will also be 24-hour construction during four separate weekends as required by Southern California Regional Rail Authority to construct the pedestrian underpass. Rather than hire additional staff to oversee the construction of the Station, staff is proposing to retain the firm of Harris & Associates to provide construction services and expertise for managing this project. City staff will still be actively involved and will provide assistance and oversight of the Construction Manager's activities. The Construction Manager will be responsible for keeping the project on schedule and within budget. The Manager will coordinate the construction activities of all aspects of, the project under the oversight of the City's Engineering Division. Supplemental services to be provided on an as- needed basis will include inspection and surveying. It is envisioned that City Inspection (Building Division and Engineering Division) will be utilized for the majority of inspection services. The Engineering Division requested proposals from two firms with experience in managing construction projects of this magnitude. Proposals were received from Holmes & Narver, and Harris & Associates. Both firms have good reputations, qualified staff, and have performed similar types of services for other agencies in a very acceptable manner. Harris & Associates was selected based upon their vast experience in the construction management field and high recommendations received from other agencies. Based upon the contents of the proposals and the follow-up interviews, it was apparent that Harris & Associates exhibited a more thorough understanding of the work tasks and the effort required to successfully perform the'construction management services. ,.~ It is recommended that the City Council approve the COnsulting Services Agreement with Harris & Associates for construction management services for the Tustin Commuter Rail Station, subject to approval by the City Attorney.
