Recommendation
Motion to approve Service Authorization No. 12-08 with David Miller & Associates in the amount not to exceed $15,250 for professional engineering services and construction administration support services for the Fire Station No. 2 Emergency Generator Upgrade Project; Project No.16-011.
Body
Background:
The Fire-Rescue Department is responsible for responding to all fire, medical, hazardous materials and technical rescue calls within the City of Delray Beach. Fire Rescue Station No. 2 which is located at 35 Andrews Avenue just north of East Atlantic Avenue, responds to all areas east of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
Originally built in the early nineties, the auxiliary power generator at Station No. 2 met the standards for that period, providing a limited amount of electrical power to the facility. The current generator has reached its serviceable life cycle and is in need of complete replacement. David Miller will provide professional engineering, electrical and design services, specifically a construction set of plans, which comply with City Land Development Regulations for permanently installed generators. The architect will also provide limited construction administration services and assist the City with bidding, permitting and project closeout.
David Miller & Associates, P.A. was retained by the City via RFQ #2012-05 which resulted in an annual consulting contract that is valid through February 2017. Negotiations regarding the hourly rates relating to the scope of services for this project were finalized at a publicly noticed meeting held on May 4, 2016.
This recommendation for award is in compliance with Code of Ordinances, Section 36.02 (C) (3) “Professional Services”.
