Describe the search from above in detail: 
PRICE  
MC1-352-B states: The Using Agency requesting a Competition Impracticable Procurement shall provide written evidence 
to support a Competition Impracticable determination containing an explanation of why the proposed procurement 
process is advantageous to the County; and the scope, duration, and estimated total dollar value of the procurement.
Price has been fairly and reasonably established by: 
Describe methodology and results (attach any written supporting data, e.g., survey or market analysis): 
The alternative would be to use a different design consultant, which would be unacceptable because 
of unfamiliarity with with the project, including current construction coordination, utility, developer, 
and Bureau of Reclamation issues.  Kimley-Horn has the history and detailed background to complete 
this design and provide post-design services.
Kimley-Horn provided a scope and fee that is consistent with their approved contract rates and 
acceptable engineering practice for this type of work.

THIS IS A COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT BECAUSE (attach additional page if needed):
Kimley-Horn has the familiarity regarding the project history and reasoning of all of the design issues 
and utility coordination issues, to finish the project, and knowledge of the project design decisions and 
understanding of each developer's needs and issues. They have been the designer for the project over 
the last 5 years and have been supporting the project which entered construction in 2018. The TT0345 
(MC 85: 95th Ave to 75th Ave) project could not complete due to Bureau of Reclamation issues near 91st 
Avenue and is therefore updating design to reflect what was built and update utility information to 
reflect relocated utility locations. It is in the best interest of MCDOT to utilize Kimley-Horn to complete 
the MC 85 95th Ave to 87th Ave design and post-design tasks for consistency and efficiency.  Utilizing a 
different design consultant at this stage of MC 85 design would be contrary to the public interest.
