CONSIDERATIONS: On December 10, 2020, the Procurement Services Division released notices for
RPS No. 21-7831, Pine Ridge Road Corridor Improvements. The County received two proposals by the
submission deadline on February 1, 2020. The County extended the RPS response deadline an additional

A selection committee met on March 1, 2021, to score and shortlist the proposals from the Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. and Kisinger Campo & Associates, Corp. to move on to step 2, presentations.
The evaluation criteria used in scoring the proposals included: the ability of the firm’s professional
personnel, whether the firm was a certified minority business enterprise, past performance/references,
project approach, willingness to meet time and budget requirements, location, and recent, current, and
projected workloads of the firm. Both firms provided at least three references from clients on projects of
a similar size for which the firm had provided services similar in scope and complexity within the past
three years.
On March 22, 2021, the selection committee reconvened for Step 2, presentations, and ranked the firms as
follows:

Group, Inc. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached with Jacobs, staff will continue negotiating
with the remaining ranked firm in an effort to bring a proposed agreement back for the Board’s
consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this item does not result in a direct fiscal impact; however, the source of
funding for the future contract (subject to board approval at a subsequent meeting) will be a combination
of impact fees, gas taxes, surtax, and/or utility user fees as required for the project.
Approval of this item will not have an impact on operational and maintenance costs; however, the
completed project can be expected to have the following operational and maintenance impacts: minimal
to no maintenance costs are expected to be incurred within the first 5 to 7 years of service for the new
roadway features and will be absorbed into the regular maintenance schedule thereafter. The new
stormwater features will require minimal maintenance that will be absorbed into the regular maintenance
schedule resulting in minimal cost impact. The annual operation costs of any water or wastewater mains
replaced during the project will remain the same or decrease.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project is in conformance with the goals and objectives of
the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
