DISCUSSION: On February 13, 2007, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Gable Engineering, Inc., to provide management services for miscellaneous capital improvement projects. Gable Engineering, (Gable) Inc., was selected to render consulting services to the City in accordance with Council Policy F -14. Since the initial PSA approval, Council has approved two amendments to the contract on August 13, 2007, and March 25, 2008, respectively, to modify scope of work and terms of the Agreement. Over the last one and a half years, the PSA with Gable has proven to be very effective and efficient. Gable is currently assisting and providing necessary support to manage several projects including rehabilitation of the Community Youth Center, Little Corona Restroom Facility Remodel, Big Canyon Creek Restoration, and Marina Park. The proposed Fiscal Year 2008/09 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget is estimated at about $68 million and includes over 92 projects. The anticipated on -going need for services from Gable in the upcoming fiscal year will require a new agreement as the current one is set to expire on June 20, 2008. To date, Gable has provided consistently high quality service on the numerous assigned projects. The rates included in the proposal are competitive and in line with industry standards. For the reasons mentioned above, staff recommends approval of the attached On -Call PSA with Gable.
