COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT WITH SMITH & ANNALA ENGINEERING COMPANY FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE AND MATERIALS TESTING SERVICES Approve a Competition Impracticable Procurement, Maricopa County Procurement Code, MCI-351, in the amount of $700,000.00, with Smith & Annala Engineering Company to provide Quality Assurance and Materials Testing Services for the construction of the Buckeye FRS No. 1 Rehabilitation Project. The Contract will be effective for 1,095 calendar days from the date of execution or the expenditure of $700,000.00, whichever comes first. As an option, the Contract may be extended by change order for an additional period of 730 calendar days, or expenditure of the remaining funds. Smith & Annala Engineering Co. provides Quality Assurance and Materials Testing Services under the current On-Call Contract FCD2013C008 for the Buckeye FRS No. 1 Rehabilitation Project which is presently under construction. The original contract was $500,000.00 and will be fully expended by March of 2016. Due to unforeseen conditions, the allocated funds under the present Contract will not be sufficient to complete the Project. The proposed funds will provide continuity of Quality Assurance and Materials Testing Services by the same firm during and following construction of the Buckeye FRS No. 1 Rehabilitation Project. As Smith & Annala Engineering Co. is the Quality Assurance and Materials Testing Firm of Record for the Buckeye FRS No. 1 Rehabilitation Project, it is the only firm with sufficient project expertise to provide Quality Assurance and Materials Testing Services. The project needs to retain the Firm of Record until project completion. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial District 4. (C-69-16-031-5-00)
