SUMMARY:

An ordinance approving the negotiation and execution of eight On-Call Architectural Services Agreements with Beaty Palmer Architects, Inc., Debra J. Dockery Architects, H. Munoz & Company, Inc., Marmon Mok, LLP, Chesney Morales Partners, Inc., Douglas Architects, Inc., WestEast Design Group, LLC and Kaarisen Noonan Rittimann Garcia (KNRG) each in the amount not to exceed $400,000.00 per contract year for as-needed Architectural services related to vertical construction projects citywide. Each agreement is for a term of one year, with an option to renew for up to one additional one-year extension at the City's discretion in an amount not to exceed $400,000.00 per contract year for a total amount not to exceed $800,000.00 per contract.


BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On-call contracts are utilized when multiple projects are to be delivered through various programs within a limited timeline and when project scopes are not initially known. The Public Works Department (PWD) previously contracted with six consultants which have provided on-call architectural services for the City. However, those previously executed contracts expired on August 3, 2020.

These on-call architectural services contracts will be available to all City of San Antonio (City) Departments and will address all aspects of architectural design and construction management to include layouts, surveying, architectural or structural design, special projects, staff augmentation for project management, staff augmentation for inspections services and training programs for City staff. Utilizing these on-call contracts will allow for the expedited delivery of capital improvement projects and will provide a cost savings to the City based on negotiated rates for a larger volume of work.
