Pellegrino, Purchasing Agent Date: January 16, 2001 Re: Architectural and Engineering Services for City Projects The City currently contracts with two local firms for architectural and engineering services for various small to medium sized projects that the City undertakes throughout the year. The contracts for the fines; Carpenter Associates of Old Town and WBRC of Bangor, have expired and we have requested letters of qualifications from aura architectural/engineering firms. Eight submittals were received and reviewed by a selection committee consisting of the department heads most involved with constmction or renovation projects. Committee members are Fmnk Comeau, Parks and Recreation, Mike Dyer, Bass Park, Alan Kochis, School Department, Jim Ring, Engineering and myself. The committee narrowed the field to three fens and subsequently interviewed each. After much deliberation it was decided that the two firms currently providing services to the City should continue and that Ames Corporation should also be given the opportunity to provide services. Each firm will provide a"niche"for the City's requirements: 1. Carpenter and Associates will continue to provide services involving renovations, structural and mechanical systems projects. 2. WBRC will continue to be involved with larger building renovations, building additions and expansions. 3. Ames Engineers will provide services for civil projects not undertaken by our Engineering Department and building projects not handled by WBRC. Our previous experience with Carpenter Associates and WBRC has been very good and the relationship with both inns has been a great help to the City. The addition of Ames Corporation W the mix should provide even greater support for the City's requirements and prove beneficial to our user departments. It is contemplated that the City will enter into a three-year professional services contract with the three firms and that the contracts will have the option to renew for one additional three-year period. In addition, the contract will also contain a termination for convenience clause far the City's protection. 01-95 By this memorandum I recommend that the City award professional service contracts to Ames Corporation, Carpenter and Associates and WBRC.
