AGREEMENT
On January 7, 1988, authorization was given by the Redevelopment
Agency to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for engineering and
environmental consulting services for the widening of Otay Valley
Road. Twelve proposals were submi t ted in response to the RFP.
These proposals were reviewed by a committee consisting of four
City staff members from the Community Development, Engineering, and
Planning Departments. The four top proposers were then invited for
oral interviews. The firm of Leedshill-Herkenhoff, Inc. was ranked
the highest by the participants on the interview panel.
The recommendation is to approve Leedshill-Herkenhoff, Inc. as the
consultant to prepare the engineering and environmental studies for
the widening of Otay Valley Road and authorizing the agreement.
The not-to-exceed cost for the services described in the attached
agreement will be $641,575.00. There is $369,596 earmarked for
engineering and environmental services. In addition, a portion of
the $355,000 earmarked for property acquisition will need to be
expended for the engineering and environmental services because
this work must be undertaken before property acquisition. An
additional appropriation may be required for property acquisition.
A better estimation of the appropriation that will be required will
be available following Phase III of the project which includes
appraisals of properties that will need to be acquired.
