Body
WHEREAS, the City desires to secure “readily available” professional services in various categories of work and related technical services to support City projects on an as-needed basis; and
WHEREAS, CITY issued an Invitation to Qualify (“ITQ”) No. 19000398 on June 18, 2019, and all of the consultants listed on the attached document were selected as the best qualified for the provision of such services based upon their responses to the ITQ; and
WHEREAS, CITY desires to engage each consultant by entering into individual Agreements for a period of 2 years with up to two additional one year options; NOW THEREFORE,
Be it resolved by the Council for the City of Pittsburgh as follows:
Section 1. The City of Pittsburgh, through the Office of Management & Budget, is hereby authorized to enter into eighty-two (82) Open-End Professional Services Agreements with multiple vendors, for two (2) year terms with up to two additional one year options, in order to provide professional services on an on-call basis as required related to the assessment, design, construction, and maintenance of the City’s infrastructure, buildings, and lands as needed by the various Departments of the City of Pittsburgh.
Section 2. Because the agreements provide services on an as-needed basis, expenditures under these agreements will be identified when work orders are issued. If funding for any work order has not been previously appropriated, funding will be identified and appropriated through subsequent City Council action. Funding is available as appropriated when listed per project in the Operating and/or Capital Budget.
Section 3. No agreement will cost an amount greater than two million and five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) per year. In no event will any estimated work order for a project issued under these agreements exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000) in value.
