Agenda 09/27/2022 Item #16K4 (Approve an Agreement for Construction Expert Consultant Services with the Delta Consulting Group South Inc for County Construction Projects)09/27/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Agreement for Construction Expert Consultant Services with the
Delta Consulting Group South, Inc., for County Construction Projects, as needed.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board approve an Agreement for Construction Expert Consultant Services with
the Delta Consulting Group South, Inc., for County Construction Projects, as needed.
CONSIDERATIONS: Attached for the Board's consideration is a proposed Agreement for Construction
Expert Consultant Services with the Delta Consulting Group South, Inc. (“Delta”). Along with the
attached Agreement is a Credentials Package providing an overview of the expert consultant services
provided by Delta, an international consulting firm with expertise in construction/project management
and litigation support. County staff is currently managing multiple construction projects, some of which
are in the tens of millions of dollars and may require close review of project schedules and claims asserted
by the contractors from a legal perspective. Consultants such as Delta have specialized knowledge and
skills that are not possessed by inhouse staff and provides an element of independence to non-
judgmentally discern the legitimacy of asserted claims and also issues concerning delay in timely
reaching project conclusion. Having an independent review of such matters on particularly complex
projects, only as needed, will assist in resolving issues and or identifying concerns that will provide a
more educated insight of how to proceed. It i s anticipated that any services provided will be performed
by Delta Senior Director David D. Reichard, P.E., who comes recommended by the County’s local
outside counsel Greg Woods with the firm Woods Weidenmiller Michetti Rudnick, LLP.
Under the Agreement, Delta will be compensated for its services according to the hourly fee schedule
attached to the Agreement as Exhibit “A,” along with reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses to
be paid in accordance with Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. The hourly rates are consistent with or slightly
lower than similar consultants utilized by the County on prior such matters. The Agreement provides for
an initial two-year term, with an optional additional two-year term. Further, the Agreement may be
terminated by the County for convenience with thirty-days written notice. The retention of legal services
including expert witnesses, trial consultants and other similarly situated persons or firms is exempt from
the competitive process as set forth in Section Eight, subsection 8 of Collier County Procurement
Ordinance No. 2013-69, as amended.
FISCAL IMPACT: The approval and execution of the attached Agreement has no fiscal impact in and
of itself but there will be a fiscal impact in accordance with the terms and conditions of such contracts,
upon the County's request for legal services, which will be assumed by the Department/Division utilizing
the services.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves and authorizes the Chairman to sign the attached
Agreement for Construction Expert Consultant Services with the Delta Consulting Group South, Inc., for
County construction projects, as needed.
