Commission staff reviews seven ITQ work orders across DPW and DOI projects

Commission staff provided a run-through of seven ITQ work orders at the April meeting, describing primes, subconsultants and dollar amounts for each assignment.

Staff said the first order covers whole-building air-tightness testing at Brighton Heights Healthy Active Living Center with Intertech PSI as prime for $39,600. A second order was shown for construction management and inspection of the Hurden Street landslide remediation project (prime: SAI Consulting) with a $91,892 cost, of which $66,101 is allocated to an MBE subconsultant. Intertech PSI is also prime on a $13,850 special-inspection order for the Sawmill Run salt storage facility.

Two DOI bridge-inspection work orders were described: one with GI Consultants as prime and two subconsultants (an MBE and a WBE) totaling $215,370 with subcontracts of $28,900 and $14,500; another with Walert as prime and five subconsultants representing multiple business categories, totaling $129,822. Staff closed the summary with two change orders to AE7 for East Liberty Police and Fire Station renovations ($26,100 and $12,950).

Staff did not provide further implementation dates or procurement motions for these ITQ orders during the meeting; commissioners received the update and had no extended debate recorded in the transcript.

What commissioners asked

Commissioners asked procedural questions about waiver paperwork and whether, when a waiver is filed, later participation by subcontractors can be counted toward diversity goals; staff explained that after a waiver is filed and participation later occurs, that participation often cannot be counted toward the original waiver’s numbers.
