CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Authorization to execute an Agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc.
for design of a proposed Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement in Grant Avenue from "I" Street to
Bunker Hill, in 3'd Street from "G" Street to 4th Street, and in Sepulveda Avenue from 4th Street
to 5th Street.
Backeround:
The Sewer System Master Plan (S.M.P.) was updated 14 October of 2002. The purpose of the
S.M.P. is to evaluate the City's existing sewer system capacity, integrity and the systems ability
to handle future land-use changes and redevelopment to the year 2020. The S.M.P. has made
recommendations for improvements based on the new land use information, population
projections obtained from current census data, and data captures from temporary flow
monitoring. Hydraulic modeling was used to determine system deficiencies and determine
sizing and alignments of new mains to eliminate deficiencies.
The sewer system in Grant Avenue at this location is at 85% capacity. The sewer systems in
Sepulveda Avenue and 3'd Street at these locations are at IOO% capacity and would become
pressurized with any future development up stream.
Requests for Proposal (RFP) for Professional Civil Engineering Services were sent to 23 Civil
Engineering firms both locally and to firms with a positive track record with the City. Each was
requested to submit a design proposal for this project. Of the ten firms that responded 4 of them
are from San Bernardino, both the Redlands and Colton Firms responded, and the rest are
companies that have done work with us in the past.
Proposals were received from:
Companv Location:
Engineering Resources ($42,000 not to exceed) San Bernardino
AEI-CASC ($67,895 with Contingencies) Colton
John Egan & Associates Redlands
Korve Engineering San Bernardino
RBF Consulting ($49,350 not to exceed) Ontario
Hall & Foreman, Inc. (submitted for Baseline Project not Grant Project) Upland
Transtech Engineering, Inc. San Bernardino
CBM Consulting, Inc. Gardena
Dudek & Associates (submitted for Baseline Project not Grant Project) Anaheim
Associated Engineers (submitted for Baseline Project not Grant Project) San Bernardino
A selection committee conslstmg of Engineering Associate Ron Blymiller, Engineering
Associate Robert Sepulveda, and Engineering Associate Lupe Comacho reviewed the proposals
and selected RBF Consulting, AEI-CASC and Engineering Resources to be interviewed. The
2
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT (Continued)
basis of selection was a point system which evaluated the qualifications of each firm. No
proposal amounts were reviewed during this phase of the process.
The interview committee, consisting of Field Engineer Mike Grubbs, Engineering Associate
Ron Blymiller, and Engineering Associate Robert Sepulveda interviewed the firms and
recommended Engineer Resources and RBF Consulting, Inc. based on points earned from their
proposal, previous experience, qualifications, interview and familiarity with sewer systems.
The table below shows the points given for each of the three firms interviewed.
Based on the committee's assessment of the proposals, Engineering Resources and RBF
Consulting scored the same in the process and interview. Therefore, staff is recommending
that the firm with a San Bernardino office be awarded the design contract for the negotiated
price of $42,000.
Firm Pronosal Points Interview Points Total Points
Engineering Resources 82 87 169
AEI-CASC 87 79 166
RBF Consulting 86 83 169
Engineering Resources has a not-to-exceed fee for this work in the amount of $42,000.00. In
addition, staff is requesting an allocation of a contingency amount of $4,500.00 (in the event of
discovery of unforeseen conditions and/or the need and desirability to moderately expand the
scope of work), for a total project cost of$46,500.00.
Financial Impact:
Sufficient funding for this project is available in Account Nos. 245-365-5504-7311, 245-365-
5504-7312 and 245-365-5504-7318. Since these projects will be under one design package we
are requesting that the amount of this agreement be evenly distributed.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

Subject:
Authorization to execute an Agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc.
for design of a proposed Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement in Grant Avenue from "I" Street to
Bunker Hill, in 3'd Street from "G" Street to 4th Street, and in Sepulveda Avenue from 4th Street
to 5th Street.
Backl(round:
The Sewer System Master Plan (S.M.P.) was updated 14 October of 2002. The purpose of the
S.M.P. is to evaluate the City's existing sewer system capacity, integrity and the systems ability
to handle future land-use changes and redevelopment to the year 2020. The S.M.P. has made
recommendations for improvements based on the new land use information, population
projections obtained from current census data, and data captures from temporary flow
monitoring. Hydraulic modeling was used to determine system deficiencies and determine
sizing and alignments of new mains to eliminate deficiencies.
The sewer system in Grant Avenue at this location is at 85% capacity. The sewer systems in
Sepulveda Avenue and 3'd Street at these locations are at 100% capacity and would become
pressurized with any future development up stream.
Requests for Proposal (RFP) for Professional Civil Engineering Services were sent to 23 Civil
Engineering firms both locally and to firms with a positive track record with the City. Each was
requested to submit a design proposal for this project. Of the ten firms that responded 4 of them
are from San Bernardino, both the Redlands and Colton Firms responded, and the rest are
companies that have done work with us in the past.
Proposals were received from:
Company Location:
Engineerin~ Resources ($42,000 not to exceed) San Bernardino
AEI-CASC ($67,895 with Contin~encies) Colton
John Egan & Associates Redlands
Korve Engineering San Bernardino
RBF Consulting ($49,350 not to exceed) Ontario
Hall & Foreman, Inc. (submitted for Baseline Project om Grant Project) Upland
Transtech Engineering, Inc. San Bernardino
CBM Consulting, Inc. Gardena
Dudek & Associates (submitted for Baseline Project not Gram Project) Anaheim
Associated Engineers (submitted for Baseline Project not Grant Project) San Bernardino
A selection committee consisting of Engineering Associate Ron Blymiller, Engineering
Associate Robert Sepulveda, and Engineering Associate Lupe Comacho reviewed the proposals
and selected RBF Consulting, AEI-CASC and Engineering Resources to be interviewed. The
2
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT (Continued)
basis of selection was a point system which evaluated the qualifications of each firm. No
proposal amounts were reviewed during this phase of the process.
The interview committee, consisting of Field Engineer Mike Grubbs, Engineering Associate
Ron Blymiller, and Engineering Associate Robert Sepulveda interviewed the firms and
recommended Engineer Resources and RBF Consulting, Inc. based on points earned from their
proposal, previous experience, qualifications, interview and familiarity with sewer systems.
The table below shows the points given for each of the three firms interviewed.
Based on the committee's assessment of the proposals, Engineering Resources and RBF
Consulting scored the same in the process and interview. Therefore, staff is recommending
that the firm with a San Bernardino office be awarded the design contract for the negotiated
price of $42,000.
Firm Proposal Points Interview Points Total Points
Engineering Resources 82 87 169
AEl-CASC 87 79 166
REF Consulting 86 83 169
Engineering Resources has a not-to-exceed fee for this work in the amount of $42,000.00. In
addition, staff is requesting an allocation of a contingency amount of $4,500.00 (in the event of
discovery of unforeseen conditions and/or the need and desirability to moderately expand the
scope of work), for a total project cost of $46,500.00.
Financial Impact:
Sufficient funding for this project is available in Account Nos. 245-365-5504-7311,245-365-
5504-7312 and 245-365-5504-7318. Since these projects will be under one design package we
are requesting that the amount of this agreement be evenly distributed.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.
