Petitioner/Presenter: Neil C. Krutz, P.E. – Deputy City Manager/Neil C. Krutz, P.E., Deputy City Manager
Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council approve the professional services contract with Resource Direct Consulting in the amount of $84,530.00.
Financial Impact: $84,530.00 Fund 3601, Redevelopment Area #2-Administration. $26,460.00 in appropriations still remains in this fund.

The augmentation will be brought back to Council after the FY14 audit is final.

Fund: R/A 2 Revolving Fund    Account: 603242
Program: Redevelopment Agency #2 Administration (130275)
Amount: $84,530.00    Budget Status: Over Budget (See Budget Correction Plan)
Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
     A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.
Agenda Item Brief:

Construction of the Walmart at the Legends at the Sparks Marina Project is anticipated to begin in November of 2014.  The duration of this project is expected to be approximately 18 months.  Because the Legends Project is in a STAR bond district, prevailing wages must be paid on all construction. The City of Sparks is obligated to review certified payroll documentation, perform field verifications, and correspond with contractors, subcontractors and the State of Nevada Labor Commission.   Resource Direct has provided professional services on previous Legends projects.  Staff recommends approval.



Background:

Construction of the Walmart at the Legends at the Sparks Marina Project is anticipated to begin in November of 2014.  The duration of this project is expected to be approximately 18 months.  Because the Legends Project is in a STAR bond district, prevailing wages must be paid on all construction. The City of Sparks is obligated to review certified payroll documentation, perform field verifications, and correspond with contractors, subcontractors and the State of Nevada Labor Commission.  



Analysis:

Since March 2013 Resource Direct Consulting has been reviewing the prevailing wage reports and has provided support for the City on previous projects built at the Legends at the Sparks Marina.  Staff is satisfied with the services they have provided so far.  



Alternatives:
  1. City Council could accept the Services contract as outlined by Staff.
  2. City Council could reject the Services contract and provide direction to the City Manager.


Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the professional services contract with Resource Direct Consulting in the amount of $84,530.00.
