Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to renew and increase the professional engineering services agreement with Hill International, Inc., for the Professional Construction Management Services (PCM) - 2018 Project in an amount up to $3,693,100.00.

This Professional Construction Management (PCM) contract provides assistance to the Division of Water with managing its capital improvement program that consists of multiple capital improvement projects. The PCM team will help ensure completion of projects in accordance with design requirements and City’s needs, while serving as a liaison between the construction contractor, design professional, and City personnel. The PCM team shall furnish all necessary personnel, equipment, and materials to perform the work, which will generally consist of program support services, design phase services, and construction management services. Projects will be assigned to this contract based on a two year assignment window. Funds will be authorized through annual contract renewals, or more frequent renewals if required by fiscal need.

The original contract began in September 18, 2018 and was legislated to provide construction phase services to projects having a construction notice to proceed date within a two year assignment window running from September 18, 2018 to September 18, 2020. Several projects that were expected to fall within the two year assignment window for this contract were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To maintain these projects under this PCM contract as planned, the assignment window was extended to April 17, 2021, by Modification #3 of this contract.

Work performed to date includes program support services, design phase services, and construction management services. Future phases of the contact will continue program support services and construction management services. This renewal will fund PCM services from June 2023 through May 2024.
