Metro Flood Diversion Authority—August 22, 2019 4 <br /> <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Steen moved and Mr. Grindberg seconded to approve the vouchers <br />received through August 16, 2019, in the amount of $660,612.06. On roll <br />call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Task Order 6—P3 Procurement Support, Design and Construction Contract Monitoring Activities <br />Mr. Shockley discussed Task Order 6 budgeted in the amount of $43,710,115 with Jacobs for <br />Public-Private Partnership (P3) procurement services, which will restart the process since the <br />federal injunction was modified this year to allow P3 work to proceed. The work included in Task <br />Order 6 is governed by the Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Jacobs that was approved <br />by the Diversion Authority in January of 2017. <br /> <br />Mr. Shockley said general functions of the task order are to resume the P3 procurement, assist <br />in selection of the preferred proposer, assist in execution of a project agreement with a <br />developer, assist with administration of the project agreement, and provide oversight. All costs <br />are included within the project cost estimate. <br /> <br />Mr. Shockley discussed the differences between traditional and P3 project deliveries. He <br />outlined the scope of work tasks within Task Order 6, which include P3 procurement support, <br />P3 contract award support, issuance of notices to proceed, monitoring of activities during design <br />and construction, management of payment mechanisms, design and construction period <br />completions, and management of utilities and third-party agreements. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson asked if this task order with Jacobs will create competition among local engineering <br />firms. Mr. Shockley said Task Order 6 is for work associated with the Diversion channel and <br />there will be a need for local services to be provided. He said Jacobs has experience with P3 <br />projects, and it is important to have that knowledge to ensure the requirements are met and in <br />compliance. <br /> <br />Mr. Shockley said AE2S is one of the sub-consultants working with Jacobs, and is a local <br />company that is handling the land acquisitions for the project. Mr. Mahoney anticipates the new <br />Executive Director will do his best to ensure as much of the work associated with the project will <br />stay locally. Mr. Shockley said there will be an additional task order with local consultant <br />Houston-Moore Group (HMG) for the board to consider in the next few months. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Mahoney moved and Mr. Peterson seconded to approve Task Order 6 <br />with Jacobs for P3 procurement services. On roll call vote, the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. Steen left the meeting. <br /> <br />Work Order No. 6 <br />Mr. Shockley discussed Work Order No. 6 in the amount of $3,900,000 with Ashurst LLP for <br />legal advice and support in relation to P3 aspects of the project. He said the firm is <br />knowledgeable in P3 projects and may be needed during the P3 process. Ashurst has agreed <br />not to increase their hourly rates as quoted a few years ago, and the firm will only be used when <br />a request for work is needed. The effective dates of the work order are July 1, 2019, through <br />December 31, 2020. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Grindberg moved and Mr. Judd seconded to approve Work Order No. <br />6 with Ashurst LLP.
