27. SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT WITH ARCADIS Approve a Sole Source Contract between Arcadis and Maricopa County through the Facilities Management Department, in the not-to-exceed amount of $850,000. The purpose of this Sole Source Contract is to Continue Project Management Services for the Hail Damage Project. This Sole Source Contract is effective from April 4, 2013 until May 1, 2014. Arcadis has been providing project management services to Maricopa County on the hail damage restoration project since 2010. It was anticipated that the hail storm restoration project would be completed on or before the expiration date of the contract. Due to the size, complexity of damage and a change in the contract delivery method required by the insurance carrier, the project will not be completed by April 3, 2013 which requires a continued need for these services. Arcadis has unique knowledge and experience specific to this project which cannot be obtained or duplicated without incurring significant additional expense and further delay if a new contractor was engaged on the project. Arcadis currently holds Maricopa County contract FMD-06-021 which will expire April 3, 2013. All renewal and extension options contained in the contract have been exercised and no further contractual options are available to continue to obtain these services from Arcadis. Maricopa County’s insurance carrier will pay Arcadis directly for this additional service which relieves the County from any additional financial burden. (C-70-13-017-3-00)
