Agenda 01/13/2015 Item #16A15 1/13/2015 16.A.15.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award Contract No. 14-6319 for Verification Testing Services for
Collier Boulevard & Green Boulevard to Allied Engineering & Testing, now known as
GFA International Inc.,Project#68056. (Fiscal Impact$350,000).
OBJECTIVE: To approve Contract No. 14-6319 with Allied Engineering & Testing, now
known as GFA International Inc., for use by the Transportation Engineering Department,Growth
Management Division, for "Verification Testing Services for Collier Boulevard & Green
Boulevard"(the Project).
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier Boulevard is scheduled to be widened from four lanes to six
lanes from Green Boulevard to Golden Gate Boulevard. The Transportation Engineering
Department is seeking a firm that can provide verification testing services for the Project. The
verification process compares test data to confirm compliance with the contract requirements.
Tests will be performed at a plant and in the field on split samples, or independently obtained
samples depending on the particular material specifications.
Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 14-6319 for Verification Testing Services r the Project were
posted on July 2, 2014. A total of 1,234 notices were sent and 36 vendors requested solicitation
packets. Two (2) firms submitted proposals, Allied Engineering & Testing and AMEC
n Engineering,by the July 30,2014 due date.
The selection committee reviewed the two proposals and met on August 12, 2014 to rank the
firms. The committee selection resulted in a tie. In accordance with the standard RFP process, in
the event of a tie, the consulting firm paid the least by Collier County within the last five years
would receive the higher individual ranking. Based on those criteria, Allied Engineering &
Testing was deemed to be the number one ranked firm.
At the September 23, 2014 Board of County Commissioners (the Board) meeting, the Board
approved Item 16A7 to accept the selection committee's ranking and authorize contract
negotiations.
Subsequent to the approval of the short list,the county was informed that GFA International, Inc.
had acquired the geotechnical, construction materials testing and environmental divisions of
Allied Engineering & Testing. GFA International, Inc. has agreed to maintain the same terms
provided by Allied Engineering&Testing as in the original proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated fiscal impact is $350,000; funds for this project are available
in gas taxes and/or impact fees. The county currently maintains Collier Boulevard, so
incremental maintenance cost ultimately related to the improvements will be minimal compared
to the overall benefits of the project. Additional right-of-way acquisitions are required which
will add acreage to the mowing and garbage removal maintenance at approximately $3,000 per
year. Replacement of swales with closed drainage (piping) has a useful life of approximately
■-■ fifty years with recurring costs of periodic inspections and system cleaning on a three to five year
Packet Page-330-

basis at an estimated cost of$5,000 per cycle. New roadway construction has a maintenance
curve of approximately five to seven years before any incremental costs are required for repairs
or replacement.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires
majority vote for Board approval. SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: To award Contract No. 14-6319 for Verification Testing Services for
Collier Boulevard & Green Boulevard to Allied Engineering & Testing, now known as GFA
International, and to authorize the Chairman to execute the contract after final review by the
County Attorney.

hereunder have been delayed for a total of 180 calendar days, CONSULTANT'S compensation

available to the OWNER hereunder, the OWNER at its sole discretion and option may withhold

CONSULTANT resumes performance of its obligations hereunder in such a manner so as to
reasonably establish to the OWNER's satisfaction that the CONSULTANT'S performance is or
will shortly be back on schedule.

performing Work under this Agreement or any payment issued by OWNER to CONSULTANT be
deemed a waiver of any right or claim OWNER may have against CONSULTANT for delay or
any other damages hereunder.
