43. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE REQUEST TO EPS GROUP, INC Approve a Competition Impracticable request to EPS Group, Inc (EPS) for $600,000 to allow the continuation of Post Design/Construction Admin Service for Vulture Mountain Recreation Area Phases II and III. Phase II of the project includes landscape improvements, water infrastructure (well), park buildings (nature center, maintenance building, restrooms, contact station, wastewater disposal beds), and general site improvements. Phase III encompasses electrical work, additional park buildings (restrooms, gable shelter, wastewater disposal beds), and other general improvements. Parks and Recreation previously requested EPS Group, Inc. submit a modified proposal for post-design services associated with the Vulture Mountain Recreation Area project, and EPS began design work on the project under a contract with MCDOT. Parks and Recreation now requires EPS to provide continued support for P&D permitting efforts, respond to inquiries related to field conditions and contractor submittals, assist with native plant relocation, and participate in bi-weekly construction meetings. In order to ensure project continuity and successful completion, EPS’ continued involvement to finalize this portion of the work is required. EPS’ ongoing participation is critical to avoid disruption, maintain project momentum, and ensure that key deliverables and timelines are met. (C-30-26-002-X-00)
