APPROVE CONTRACT AWARD TO QORE PROPERTY SCIENCES FOR NPDES TESTING FOR THE JAIL
EXPANSION
Department:CIPM for the RCSO
Caption:Motion to approve entering into a contract with QORE Property Sciences
for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) monitoring
and testing services associated with construction of the Webster Detention
Center Expansion.
Background:McKnight Construction was awarded the contract to build the jail expansion
on November 5th, 2008. Land disturbance activities associated with the jail
expansion are scheduled to commence in mid-December, 2008. Proposals to
perform NPDES services were received from two firms. Review and
analysis of the two proposals were performed by the Procurement Office,
assisted by Capital Improvements Program Management (CIPM). The
proposal from QORE was judged to be in the best interests of the project
and Augusta.
Analysis:NPDES testing and monitoring are required by Augusta Richmond County
and the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources. The services will be performed on a weekly basis for the
duration of the project, along with post-precipitation turbidity testing as
determined by weather conditions. Proposals were required to include a cost
component based on uniform assumptions, enabling a fair and consistent
comparison. The contract will be established with stated assumptions
serving as a “Not to Exceed” Contract, with actual fees determined by actual
quantities of tests/inspections, as determined by field and weather
conditions.
Financial Impact:The services will be performed on an “as needed” basis, with a “not to
exceed” contract amount of $30,355.00.
Alternatives:There are no good alternatives. This work is required by State and Local
regulations.
Recommendation:Approve entering into a contract with QORE Property Sciences for National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) monitoring and testing
services associated with construction of the Webster Detention Center
Expansion.
