DISCUSSION: On September 23, 1985, the City Council authorized staff to solicit proposals from prospective consultants to provide acquisition and relocation services for residents occupying 26 mobile homes within the De Anza Bayside Village Mobile Home Park at Coast Highway and Bayside Drive. Three proposals were received. In adherence to the City's procedure for selecting consultants for public work projects, a selection committee reviewed the three proposals and interviewed all three consultants. Based on the interview, it was recommended • to Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that John Cutler and Associates with Pacific Relocation Consultants, as a subconsultant, be retained to perform the necessary right -of -way and relocation assistance functions. Their combined original fee was $65,630.00. A pre -audit conducted by Caltrans on the firm of John Cutler and Associates revealed significant discrepancies in their fee schedule. The pre -audit reduced the fee by approximately $25,000.00 and was based on outdated payroll documentation submitted by the consultant. As a result of this discrepancy, a new fee had to be negotiated with the consultant. This caused a major delay in execution of an agreement. To avoid any further delay, it has also become necessary to separate the subconsultant, Pacific Relocation Consultants from the prime consultant, John Cutler and Associates.• Both consultants have agreed to this condition. It is recommended that Pacific Relocation Consultants be retained to perform the necessary relocation assistance services as required by Federal and State laws on public works projects. The fee for their services, which is based on the pre- audit, is not to exceed $22,900.00. A final audit by Caltrans will allow Pacific Relocation Consultants to recover its actual costs. This amount is estimated to be $41,000.00 • Funding under the current Federal Aid Urban (FAU) formula is 86% FAU and 14% City Gas Tax. City funds have been budgeted in the current Gas Tax Fund Account for the widening of Coast Highway An Agreement with 4 se rate item on this Council Benj in B.
