79. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT WITH ACQUISITION SCIENCES II, LLLP FOR RELOCATION SERVICES Approve a Competition Impracticable Procurement in accordance with the Maricopa County Procurement Code, section MCI-351, in the amount of $85,000.00, with Acquisition Sciences II, LLLP, to provide Relocation Services for the Maricopa County Department of Transportation’s Northern Parkway Project No. TT347 (Dysart Road to 111th Avenue). The City of Glendale initially assumed lead agency responsibilities for acquisition of Northern Parkway right-of-way and relocation of affected property owners. The City contracted with Acquisition Sciences to perform this work. In 2010, Maricopa County assumed the lead role, and due to limited staff resources and project schedule, has utilized the City’s Acquisition Sciences contract (11141-IGA) for Relocation Services. The City’s contract has expired, but acquisition and relocation services for the project are expected to continue until an estimated completion date of December 31, 2015. Approximately half of the relocation work on the project is ongoing, and federal processes mandate an 18-month follow-up on completed work. Seeking a new vendor is impractical, as ensuring a continuity of service is critical to avoiding delays to the Northern Parkway project and to avoiding jeopardizing federal funding for the project. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial District 4. (C-64-14-020-M-00)
