COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT WITH PEARSON ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED FOR REMOTE SITES OET REFRESH Approve Competition Impracticable procurement for Engineering Services - Pearson Engineering Associates Incorporated. The Office of Enterprise Technology has projects requiring mechanical and electrical upgrades for the server refresh project. Pearson Engineering Associates Incorporated has competitively been the firm selected to complete the design for previous projects. They have specialized knowledge on how to design and complete these projects under very tight time constraints. They are experienced with the electrical and mechanical requirements of these specialized closets and have the ability to complete the permit process quickly. Pearson's experience allows for the most cost effective design due to their specialized experience. The cost of the design is $726,303.72 for a total of 17 buildings and 42 rooms located throughout Maricopa County. There are many technical and operational issues that Pearson is familiar with that a different design professional would have to learn. A different design professional would have to start over from the beginning and the effort and expenditures to date would be mostly wasted. (C-70-15-001-M-00)
