70. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE FOR SDB CONTRACTING SERVICES (Supervisorial District: 2) Approve a Competition Impracticable (CI) for $296,736 for SDB Contracting Services, under contract Serial 230075-DES to continue working on the Human Services Department’s (HSD) Wastewater Infrastructure Improvement Program for the Glen Cove Community. This Program is focused on improving the overall health and safety of low- to moderate-income residents and preserving existing affordable housing in unincorporated Maricopa County in manufactured home communities by abandoning failing wastewater systems and connecting to local sewer systems. This specific project is located in a county island within the City of Mesa. Since breaking ground on the project, additional construction needs and costs have been identified due to extremely aged infrastructure, roadways failing, due to poor soil conditions, discrepancies between as-built records and actual on-site infrastructure, and several engineering redesigns due to these identified issues. The current construction contract is a pre-negotiated rate using a cooperative Job Order Contract (JOC) issued and awarded by the Mohave Cooperative. The CI requests a project-specific increase above the $2 million dollar per-job procurement code limit of up to $2,296,736. This increase will allow the work to be completed, and the project successfully closed out on time. Upon approval of the CI, HSD will be authorized to expend up to $296,736 of the current $5,000,000 total program budget for additional project construction costs above the $2,000,000 per-job procurement code limit under serial 230075-DES. Project costs are fully funded through the Department’s allocated American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funding awarded to the County by the U.S. Department of Treasury under Assistance Listing Number (ALN 21.027).
