Title
32. Motion to Award Annual Contract for Cost Estimating Services to Costing Services Group (Event No. 6858)
Strategic Priority
Good Government
Description

Recommend approval to award an annual contract for cost estimating services to Costing Services Group in the estimated amount of $75,000.00.  This contract will be used by the Office of Capital Projects to provide services including, but not limited to, review and recommendation of costs related to task order contracts, construction manager at risk, design/bid/build, and design/build projects to assure that costs are commensurate with the project scope and local market conditions.  These estimates assist staff in determining the threshold for DBE participation goals as part of the procurement process.

The method used for this procurement was the request for proposals (RFP) which evaluates criteria in addition to cost.  The criteria used for this RFP were qualifications and experience, technical capabilities, references, local vendor participation, and fees.

This project was not identified as an SBE project because the requirement of three certified SBEs could not be met at the time this bid was released.

The contract term shall be from April 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
