In December 2025, staff issued a Request for Statement <br />of Qualifications (SOQs) for on-call civil engineering services. Fourteen SOQs were received <br />and reviewed, and six firms were invited to interview with staff. <br /> <br />Based on the firms’ qualifications, interview performance, and reference checks, staff <br />recommends approval of Professional Services Agreements with the following four firms: <br />Bennett Engineering Services, CSG Consultants, Inc., Sanbell-Bay Area, and Wilsey Ham. <br /> <br />If approved, the agreements will provide on-call civil engineering services from July 1, 2026, <br />through June 30, 2029, with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year terms. The <br />total not-to-exceed amount for all four agreements will be $2,000,000, with $500,000 allocated <br />to each agreement. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into Professional Services Agreements with <br />Bennett Engineering Services, CSG Consultants, Inc., Sanbell-Bay Area, and Wilsey <br />Ham for on-call civil engineering services, each in an amount not to exceed $500,000 <br />for a three-year term, with options for two one-year extensions. <br />2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Professional Services Agreements. <br />3. Authorize the Director of Public Works, or designee, to approve individual task <br />authorizations up to $100,000, and authorize the City Manager to approve individual <br />task authorizations up to $200,000. Task authorizations exceeding $200,000 shall be <br />presented to the City Council for consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />On June 1, 2021, the City entered into three-year Professional Services Agreements with four <br />local consultants to provide on-call civil engineering services. Those agreements were <br />extended for one year in June 2024 and for an additional year in June 2025. During the term of <br />those agreements, the consultants completed numerous critical assignments in support of <br />Public Works operations. All current agreements will expire on June 30, 2026. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: B9C3382B-43F8-8DB2-81A3-99BCBA34BB92
