The City of Portland ordains:                                            

Section 1.  The Council finds:

1. The Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) requires construction contracting to deliver ongoing traffic calming projects within the Quick Build Delivery Program.

2. Construction price agreements save time and money by reducing repetitive solicitation processes on a project-by-project basis.

3. Contracting services in this manner provides opportunities to firms certified as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, Minority-owned Business Enterprises, Woman-owned Business Enterprises, Service Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises and Emerging Small Businesses by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). The scope of work is limited to specialty areas (asphalt, signing, striping, and ADA ramps) that COBID firms would typically serve as a subcontractor to a prime contractor. These type of price agreements set up COBID contractors to serve, and gain more experience, as the prime contractor to PBOT.

4. PBOT will outreach to Oregon Certified Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) certified contractors through the National Association of Minority Contractors – Oregon Chapter (NAMCO), the Oregon Association of Minority Entrepreneurs (OAME), and the Professional Business Development Group (PBDG). A pre-solicitation notice will be posted through PBOT’s contractor equity program. A notification will be sent to all vendors registered with the City with matching commodity codes for the solicited services.

5. PBOT anticipates awarding multiple price agreements with a cumulative amount not to exceed $45,000,000 over five-year terms for all price agreements, for the following service areas.

6. Services needed for specific projects will be defined, authorized, assigned and approved for a not-to-exceed dollar value at the discretion of PBOT via negotiated Task Orders. Task Orders will be negotiated with the selected contractors on a rotational basis. The maximum value of each contract is $1,000,000 per year, up to five years, as shown in the following table, unless otherwise amended and approved by the Chief Procurement Officer.

7. Funding is identified by project in the PBOT Capital Improvement Plan budget for the necessary Task Orders. These price agreements will be executed to construct projects that already have funding and that are on the approved CIP budget list. There is no additional funding requested.

8. The level of confidence in Engineer's opinion of probable construction cost is high.

9. Ordinance No. 191139 will be amended to increase the total cumulative amount not to exceed from $10,000,000 to $45,000,000 over five-year terms for all price agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

1. Ordinance No. 191139 is amended to the cumulative amount not to exceed $45,000,000 over five-year terms for all price agreements.
2. The Chief Procurement Officer is authorized to solicit and execute multiple price agreements with a cumulative amount not to exceed $45,000,000 for the purpose specified in Section 1, provided the price agreements have been approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office.
3. The Mayor and City Auditor are hereby authorized to draw and deliver checks chargeable to PBOT’s Transportation Capital Improvement Program when demand is presented and approved by the proper authorities.
4. All other terms and provisions of Ordinance No. 191139 remain the same and are not affected by this amendment.

Section 2.  The Council declares that an emergency exists because current contract dollar authority for traffic calming project delivery has been programmed and projects are designed and ready for delivery; therefore, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
