Russo, City Manager FROM: Bill Evans, Public Works Director DATE: 10/16/2014 RE: Resolution Approving a Contract with Calvin Giordano and Associates, Inc. for Professional Engineering Services for Emergency Seawall Repair RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending the City Commission approve the attached resolution. REASONS: Calvin Giordano and Associates, Inc. (CGA, Vendor 312) is one of four shortlisted and prequalified firms to provide engineering, architectural, landscape architectural and land surveying services on various City projects on an as- needed basis. In early August, a portion of the seawall on the Intracoastal Park South failed necessitating both professional consulting and construction services to minimize further failure and associated damage to City property. DERM issued an emergency permit for the repairs, a marine contractor, mobilized to the site and CGA commenced professional services to address needed immediate repairs. In order to engage the services of CGA for the failed section of seawall, the City issued a Purchase Order in the amount of $25,000.00 so that work could commence without delay. Since the remaining seawall on Intracoastal Park South as well as the entire seawall on Intracoastal Park North are of the same vintage and no record drawings are available, additional evaluation of seawall conditions was performed including exposing portions of the seawall and structural elements and further assessing their condition to determine if additional repair work is needed.
