ACTION ITEM
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Title
Consider award of five On-Call Project Management/Construction Management Contracts with five-year terms to Chow Engineering, Inc.; Dabri, Inc.; Parsons Transportation Group, Inc.; VSCE, Inc.; and WSP USA, Inc.

These on-call Project Management / Construction Management (PM/CM) contracts ensure the District has access to the most up-to-date, professional and industry standard best practices when engaging outside services for construction management and project management support during the development of the District's Capital Projects.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate fiscal impact from the award of these contracts. Only when a task order is issued under one of the five (5) on-call contracts will there be an impact.
Each selected firm will be limited to an annual amount of $1,000,000 with a maximum aggregate of $3.0 million for three years. The maximum value of each individual tasking will be equal to the unused portion of the annual allocation for that specific contractor. The minimum value of each task order is $2,500.
