MOTION

 

Upon recommendation of Jody Caldwell, Chief Planning Officer, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), authorizes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to enter into Contract No. GLWA-CS-272, Proposed Amendment No. 1, “Capital Improvement Program Delivery” with AECOM Great Lakes, Inc., with no increase in cost for a total cost not to exceed $54,934,034.00 and an increased duration of 36 months for a total duration of 84 months; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.

 

BACKGROUND

GLWA’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) group is committed to continuously improving the CIP Program at GLWA and to standardize, optimize and streamline CIP Delivery. The current Capital Improvement Program Delivery contract (GLWA-CS-272) will expire on May 19, 2023. This contract was originally four (4) years.  At the end of the original contract period, the existing contract amount is expected to allow for an additional three (3) year extension with no foreseen increase in cost.

Below is a summary of the contract tasks status as of December 2022 and proposed task amendment, where applicable. It should be noted that even though the proposed contract extension is for three (3) years, the targeted completion dates of the contracted tasks will vary. The tasks that are directly related to PMIS implementation and project controls (portal and controls management) will continue throughout the contract extension period (May 2026). The contract balance at the end of May 2023 will be redistributed to support the active tasks as needed.

Task 9 will be extended to December 2023 to accommodate completion of one (1) task memo that is in progress.  The balance of the budget as of May 2023 will be redistributed to support Tasks 4, 5 and 7.

 

JUSTIFICATION

The original contract anticipated that AECOM Great Lakes, Inc. would assist GLWA in the selection, implementation, and execution of a Project Management Information System (PMIS), transition controls and program management from the portal to the newly implemented PMIS system and grow the CIP delivery team to support a unified CIP delivery process.

GLWA is currently implementing major system replacements for the financial management and human capital management information systems. In order to ensure these systems have the support and engagement of GLWA team members and because many of the same team members will be required for the PMIS implementation, the PMIS implementation has been delayed to manage internal GLWA resources more appropriately.  Due to the delay in PMIS execution, AECOM Great Lakes, Inc. program management services related to this task to assist in PMIS implementation are still needed until the PMIS implementation is complete. This includes the completion and rollout of the Project Management Plan, PMIS selection and implementation, project administration, project controls and reporting support, limited staff augmentation for wastewater engineering, and change management, program support, etc.

This Proposed Amendment No. 1 shall be for a time only extension as the existing contract balance is anticipated to fund the continuation of the above listed tasks.
