Ditrul3 Jim CI iutn ei Nanin I ulcer Dna lei d DATE: February 26, 2003 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners FROM: David A. Wheeler, P.E., Director of Public Works 2n1 SUBJECT: Proposal for Bidding and Construction Phase Services For the Old Winter Garden Road Project With Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc. Attached for your review is Addendum No. 03-01 to the Agreement for Consulting Engineering Services between the City of Ocoee and Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc. (PEC) for bidding and construction phase services for the Old Winter Garden Road Project. The proposed Addendum is comprised of three main components: 1. Bidding phase services consist of the preparation and distribution of bid sets of drawings and specifications including all addenda, review of submitted bids, and preparation of conformed copies of bid documents after award of the contract. 2. Construction phase project management, shop drawing review and approval, contract management services and inspection management services. 3. Geotechnical and materials inspection and testing. This work is to be performed by a geotechnical subconsulting firm. As on the Maguire Road project, staff has continued the arrangement with PEC that will allow the City to use one of its inspectors as the on-site inspector. This will provide us with a greater degree of contact with the field staff on a daily basis, and will enable us to identify potential problems earlier. The inspector will work closely with PEC's professional construction manager who will ensure that all procedural and documentation issues are properly addressed throughout the project duration.

Conduct pre-construction meeting to outline construction schedule, coordinate construction events and establish lines of communication between contractor, City and design consultant. PEC will prepare and distribute a booklet with all of the forms to be utilized during the construction phase to enhance coordination/communication between the contractor, City and PEC during the construction phase; 2. Administer and coordinate weekly progress meetings (estimated at 100 weekly meetings); 3. Provide site visits and inspections with City inspector; 4. Review, approve and catalog all shop drawings, product date and equipment manuals; 5. Review and approve maintenance of traffic plans provided by contractor; 6. Review field questions of contractor and provide interpretation of contract documents; 7. Review and recommend contractor's request for payment, change orders, contract modifications; 8. Provide substantial completion inspection; and 9. Certify completion of the project and compliance with all regulatory permits. The proposed fee for this work, inclusive of subconsultant fees, is $ 431,472.00. In light of the issues on the Maguire road project, staff believes that this plan of action and the proposed fee are well worth the effort and continued working relationship. I recommend that the City Commission authorize the mayor and City Clerk to execute Addendum No. 03-01 in the amount of $431,472.00 in accordance with PEC's proposal dated February 27, 2003.

J� Director of Public Works City of Ocoee 150 North Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, FL 34761 RE: Bidding Phase and Construction Phase Services-Professional Parkway/Old Winter Garden Road(Addendum 03-01) Dear Mr. Wheeler: Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc. (PEC) is pleased to present the enclosed proposal for professional bidding phase and construction phase services concerning the widening of Old Winter Garden Road (from Hemple to S. R. 50) and Professional Parkway. PEC proposes to provide the bidding and construction phase services for a total amount not to exceed $431,472. It is noted that the City's agreement with Orange County will result in Orange County paying for approximately 75% of the engineering service costs for these bidding and construction phase services. As a component of the construction administration services, we have included suhconsultant fees for PSI, Inc. (materials testing services). PEC will provide project management, shop drawing review/approval, contract administration and construction inspection management services. The on-site resident project representative full-time, on-site inspector) will be provided by the City (Rod Winfrey) and will be supervised by PEC's Project Manager(Bob Rudd,P.E.)similar to the existing construction management services currently underway on Maguire Road south of S. R. 50. This proposed combination of City staff and consultant will achieve substantial economies for the City and provide professional inspection services. The assumed contract period for construction of this project is 660 calendar days (22 months). If I can answer any questions, please contact me at 407-422-8062.
