Explanation

BACKGROUND: Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with American Consulting, Inc. for professional engineering services for the Eaton Avenue/Wharton Avenue Stormwater System Improvements Project. This project has been developed to mitigate frequent street and yard flooding in the Eaton Avenue/Wharton Avenue neighborhood.

A notice of Request for Statements of Qualifications appeared in the City Bulletin on February 22 and March 1, 2003. Statements of Qualifications were received on March 7, 2003. Forty-seven consultants submitted Statements of Qualifications. Three consultants were selected to submit technical proposals for this project. All three consultants submitted these technical proposals on July 11, 2003.

Upon review of the Statements of Qualifications and technical proposals, the offerors have been ranked using criteria specified in City Code, and other criteria, specifically: competence of the offeror to perform the service, past performance of the offeror, cost evaluation, the feasibility/quality of the proposed project approach, location of the office to perform the work, familiarity with local project requirements, ability to perform expeditiously, and contracted backlog of work with the Division.

Based upon these criteria, American Consulting, Inc. was selected as the highest-ranked offeror.
