SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2011, the consulting team lead by Horrocks Engineers was selected using Idaho’s Quality Based Selection (QBS) process and the request for qualifictions (RFQ) advertized by the City.
This team consists of Horrocks Engineers, SPF Water Engineering, Crestline Engineers, Secesh Engineering, and additional specialty subconsultants (i.e. landscape designers, geotechnical
engineers, etc.) needed to complete complex engineering designs and deliver completed construction of these designs to City.
Since 2011, the City has authorized four (3) engineering service contract extensions with Horrocks (in 2013, and 2015, and 2018). Each subsequent contract principally served as a “renewal”
with defined term deadlines revised. They now have over nine (9) years of experience work in and for the City. The institutional knowledge gained during this time is beneficial to their
efficiency and cost effectiveness for current and future projects.
There are a number of currently ongoing, multi-year City projects that the Horrocks Team has been authorized to work on including but not limited to: Downtown Core Phase 1, 2 and 3;
Spring Mountain Boulevard pavement rehabilitation; MRA-Lake St/Brown Park Waterfront Improvements; multiple water main and system upgrades; RAPID conduit design; SH-55/Deinhard Corridor
Study; and PW Facility Improvements. These projects will result in millions of dollars of investment by the City while allowing the City to complete projects without hiring additional
staff.
To maintain continuity, quality, and efficiency, staff is recommending a contract renewal for an additional three years until January 14, 2024. Attached is the proposed new three (3)
year contract. Staff has negotiated with Horrocks to a rate cost multiplier of (2.8), which is on the low end of the industry as well as other provisions that are favorable to the
City including no mark-up on sub-consultant costs.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the proposed Professional Engineering Services Term Agreement with Horrocks Engineers and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
