Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Long range planning and environmental review consultant services are needed to provide professional planning assistance in support of the District's various long range planning efforts, including but not limited to: the Integrated Planning Port Master Plan Update; master planning efforts; urban design studies, planning guidance and support (e.g., landscaping and signage design); policy development; climate action plan technical support; greenhouse gas and air quality analysis technical support; multi-modal transportation and/or parking studies; ocean planning; aquaculture and/or blue technology programs and initiatives; and other general long range planning related studies. Long range planning also involves environmental review consulting services, including the preparation of environmental review documents and technical studies for projects that meet the mandates of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the District's Guidelines for Compliance with CEQA (per BPC Resolution #97-191), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the California Coastal Act (Coastal Act), the District’s Coastal Development Permit regulations (per BPC Resolution #84-62), and any other relevant local plans, regulations, or procedures subject to tasks and work efforts as directed by the District.
Pursuant to BPC Policy No. 110, District staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 17-70MA seeking As-Needed Long Range Planning and Environmental Review Services on October 4, 2017. The District received 14 proposals which were deemed by staff to be responsive. A selection panel comprised of District staff from the Development Services, Energy, and Planning departments reviewed the 14 proposals. Based on the panel’s review of the written proposals, all 14 firms are qualified to perform the work described in the RFQ Scope of Services.
Due to the numerous work efforts anticipated and the variety of tasks that may be needed, retaining several as-needed consultants will establish a greater capacity to work on multiple projects concurrently and the ability to cover a range of planning specialties (e.g., CEQA analysis, traffic analysis, visual simulations). To maximize flexibility in retaining the appropriate consultants to assist with the District’s long range planning projects, staff recommends the Board authorize entering into as-needed agreements with all 14 firms.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing agreements with: AECOM Technical Services, Inc.; Cardno, Inc.; Chen Ryan Associates, Inc.; Civitas, Inc.; Dudek; Environmental Science Associates; HDR Engineering, Inc.; ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc.; KTU&A; Michael Baker International, Inc.; NexusPlan, Inc.; RECON Environmental, Inc.; Rick Engineering Co.; and UDP International, LLC for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000 for a period of three years and four months from March 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021.
Body
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for the current year of expenditure are budgeted in the FY 17/18 Planning Department’s Professional Services expense account (#620100). Funds required for future fiscal years will be budgeted in the appropriate fiscal year and cost account, subject to Board approval, upon adoption of each fiscal year’s budget.
Compass Strategic Goals:
The Board’s authorization of As-Needed Long Range Planning and Environmental Review Services consultant agreements will streamline the solicitation process for retaining consultants to assist the District with its various long range planning efforts.
This agenda item supports the following Strategic Goals.
• A thriving and modern maritime seaport.
• A vibrant waterfront destination where residents and visitors converge.
• A Port with a healthy and sustainable bay and its environment.
• A Port with a comprehensive vision for Port land and water uses integrated to regional plans.
• A financially sustainable Port that drives job creation and regional economic vitality.
DISCUSSION:
Background
Long range planning and environmental review services are needed to provide professional planning assistance in support of the District's various long range planning efforts, including but not limited to: the Integrated Planning Port Master Plan Update; master planning efforts; urban design studies, planning guidance and support (e.g., landscaping and signage design); policy development; climate action plan technical support; greenhouse gas and air quality analysis technical support; multi-modal transportation and/or parking studies; ocean planning; aquaculture and/or blue technology programs and initiatives; and other general long range planning related studies. Long range planning also involves environmental review consulting services, including the preparation of environmental review documents and technical studies for projects that meet the mandates of CEQA as amended, the District's Guidelines for Compliance with CEQA (per BPC Resolution #97-191), NEPA, as amended, the Coastal Act, the District’s Coastal Development Permit regulations and any other relevant local plans, regulations, or procedures subject to tasks and work efforts as directed by the District.
Establishing as-needed long range planning and environmental review consultant services will streamline the solicitation process for retaining consultants, allowing staff to more efficiently and expeditiously retain consultants as a project arises, rather than go through a separate RFQ consultant procurement process each time a project is proposed that requires long range planning or environmental review consultant services. Due to the numerous work efforts anticipated and the variety of tasks that may be needed, retaining several as-needed consultants will establish a greater capacity to work on multiple projects concurrently and the ability to cover a range of planning specialties (e.g., CEQA analysis, traffic analysis, visual simulations). Furthermore, staff has found that retaining as-needed consultants ensures a prompt response and competitive pricing for the requested services. Based on past experience, staff anticipates this approach will save several months of time that would otherwise be spent administering case-by-case RFQs. Nonetheless, the District may still choose to conduct a separate consultant procurement process for certain projects or tasks, rather than use the proposed as-needed consultants, if desirable.

Therefore, to maximize flexibility in retaining the appropriate consultants to assist with the District’s broad range of long-range planning project needs, staff recommends the District enter into as-needed agreements with all 14 firms as follows: AECOM, Cardno, Chen Ryan, Civitas, Dudek, ESA, HDR, ICF, KTU&A, Michael Baker, NexusPlan, RECON, Rick, and UDP for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000 for a period of three years and four months (see Attachments A through N).
General Counsel’s Comments:
The Office of the General Counsel has reviewed this agenda sheet and attachments as presented to it and approves them as to form and legality.
Environmental Review:
The proposed Board action does not constitute a “project” under the definition set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because it will not have a potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA. No further action under CEQA is required.
In addition, the proposed Board action allows for the District to implement its obligations under Sections 81, 83, and 87 of the Port Act, which authorize: the use of funds for expenses of conducting the District; the use of funds for acquisition and maintenance of improvements, works, and facilities; and for commercial and industrial uses and purposes, and the construction, reconstruction, repair, and maintenance of commercial and industrial buildings, plants, and facilities. This proposed Board action furthers these requirements. The Port Act was enacted by the California Legislature and is consistent with the Public Trust Doctrine. Consequently, the proposed Board action is consistent with the Public Trust Doctrine.
Finally, the proposed Board action does not allow for “development,” as defined in Section 30106 of the California Coastal Act, or “new development,” pursuant to Section 1.a. of the District’s Coastal Development Permit Regulations. Therefore, issuance of a Coastal Development Permit or exclusion is not required.
Equal Opportunity Program:
Due to limited known sub opportunities, no SBE goal was established for this agreement.
