Item No. 9 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: January 3, 2000 Type of Business: W.K. WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Review of Engineering Statements of Qualifications Date of Report: August 29, 2018 Council may recall that staff was directed to advertise for engineering proposals. An advertisement for statements of qualifications was placed in the local paper and trade journals. As a result, staff received statements from seven firms. The intent of this procedure was to select three to five firms to form a pool of qualified consultants to perform various engineering tasks on a project specific rotational basis. SEH, which also submitted a statement would be retained as the City’s Engineer for purposes of signing MSAS reports and fulfilling the requirements of the MSA system. Minor issues or questions of which SEH would have ready access and or knowledge to would be directed to their personnel of which staff is most familiar with. Any other projects such as street projects, wetland delineations, surveys, mechanical, some plan reviews, environmental studies, to name a few, would be offered to the firm at the top of the list at the time. The next such project would be offered to the firm then at the top of the list. This plan will provide the City with some comparison of firms and personnel, effectiveness, quality of product, expense, and timeliness of commitment. It is suggested that this pool be in effect for a period of at least five years, pending further evaluation. The following firms submitted Statements of Qualifications: Enviroscience Hennning, Metz, Hartford & Associates, Inc. SEH TKDA Schoell & Madson, Inc. Bay West Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates Staff is recommending that all firms with the exception of Bay West and Henning, Metz, Hartford & Associates, Inc. be included in the City’s pool. Bay West is specializing in environmental issues and engineering and Henning, Metz… are located in Fargo, N.D. which might make them somewhat more difficult to readily contact and be involved with on various projects. If Council agrees with this selection, staff will pursue agreements and wage scales with the selected firms. Staff seeks Council direction in this matter. A packet of the submittals is in the Council office for your review. _________________________________ Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works C:\Mike's documents\staff reports\Engineering SOQ.doc
