F_ Fra;E 7S The Public Works Department's staff would have difficulty designing all 6 projects prior to September 1992, unless Petition Paving Design is temporarily suspended. Currently, there is $20,000 budgeted and available in Fund 001-210 (Parks Division's Budget) for professional services to design projects 1, 2, and 3. Funds for design services for projects 4, 5, and 6 would come from the Capital Projects Fund for those specific projects. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: Alternative #1 Develop a scope of work for the 6 projects and request proposals from local consultants including a design fee. Since the projects are generally below the CCNA thresholds of $10,000 for planning/design fee and $120,000 for construction cost, the County could seek competitive proposals. CCNA procedures would not be required for these projects. Alternative #2 Authorize staff to proceed through the Competitive Consultant Negotiation Act Procedures to recommend an Architectural Consultant for project #1 and a Civil Engineering Consultant for projects 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. A prioritized short list of recommended consultants would be prepared for Board approval. Alternative No. 1 is recommended. Funding shall be as previously described. Commissioner Bird asked what the procedure will be for choosing consultants. Director Davis explained that staff has developed a scope of work for each of the projects. The purchasing department has a list of local consultants who have indicated an interest and staff will seek proposals from these local firms for engineering services. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved funding for design services as set out in Alternative #1 in staff's recommendation. 54
