restroom remodel and programming/concept design and budgeting for the new City Hall.
As a follow up to our meeting last week, I would like to express my continued interest in a
Contract Project Manager position and I look forward to working with the City on their various
project needs in the upcoming fiscal year.
In terms of a contract amount, I am currently estimating approximately 20 hours per week,

standard City reimbursables.
Best regards,

restroom remodel and programming /concept design and budgeting for the new City Hall.
As a follow up to our meeting last week. I would like to express my continued interest in a
Contract Project Manager position and I look forward to working with the City on their various

standard City reimbursables.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. _7
July 22, 20Ub�
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Public Works Department
David Webb, Deputy Director of Public Works /City Engineer
949 - 644 -3328 or dawebb @city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Approval of an On -Call Professional Services Agreement for Project
Management and Construction Administration Services with Traker
Development
Recommendation:
Approve an On -Call Professional Services Agreement with Traker Development for
project management and construction administration services and authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
On -Call Professional Services Agreements (PSA's) were developed to avoid a large
volume of small but time - consuming agreements between the City and consultants to
accomplish on -going project tasks for implementation of the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). On -Call agreements provide staff the ability to respond quickly and
provide flexibility to changes in project workloads or priorities as well as assist with the
over -all delivery of capital projects. The recently approved Fiscal Year 2008/09 CIP
budget includes over 92 projects valued about $68 million. Due to the large number
and complexity of the pending approved projects, city staff will need the assistance of
outside consultants to provide the required project management and /or construction
administration services to assist in their delivery.
In anticipation of this, and in accordance with Council Policy F -14, staff has been
reviewing consultant qualifications from several firms and setting up contracts over the
past several months such as "gkk Works" on the Oasis Senior Center and "Gable
Engineering Inc." for the CYC rehabilitation, the Little Corona Restroom rehabilitation
and Marina Park projects. To further assist with meeting our needs, and in an effort to
spread the work load between several qualified consultants, staff is now requesting City
Council approve an on -call agreement with "Traker Development" to provide project
management and construction administration services. Jim Trammell of Traker
Development has consistently provided high quality service on a couple of city projects
in the past and the rates included in the proposal are competitive and in line with
industry standards.

July 22, 2008
Page: 2
Upon approval of this On -Call contract, it is anticipated that Traker Development will be
assigned to manage both the Police Facility Needs Assessment project as well as the
Lifeguard Building Needs Assessment project.
Environmental Review:
Environmental clearances will be completed for each Capital Improvement Project.
Funding Availability:
Funds for these services will be available in each of the specific project accounts within
the City Council approved Capital Improvement Program.

Re: Contract Project Management Position
Dear Mr. Badum,
I appreciate the opportunity submit this letter of interest and have enjoyed working with you and
the City of Newport Beach in the past on various projects including Mariners Library, Main Library
restroom remodel and programming /concept design and budgeting for the new City Hall.
As a follow up to our meeting last week, I would like to express my continued interest in a
Contract Project Manager position and I look forward to working with the City on their various
project needs in the upcoming fiscal year.
In terms of a contract amount, I am currently estimating approximately 20 hours per week,
equating to a total of 1,040 hours per year. My proposed billing rate is $150 /hour excluding
standard City reimbursables.
Best regards,
tTrammell, Principal, P.E.
