On December 6, 2016, the County awarded three on-call contracts(s) for various road, flood control, and airport maintenance work to supplement the maintenance crews’ routine and emergency work while they are busy with other activities, and to perform work that is typically time-sensitive and may require specialized equipment and skills. Contract Amendment #1 which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 5, 2017, extended the completion dates for each contract from December 6, 2017 to December 6, 2018. Contract Amendment #1 also increased the maximum payment limits for GradeTech, Inc. and Hess Construction Co., Inc. from $500,000 to $1,000,000 each, and Engineered Soil Repairs, Inc. from $300,000 to $600,000.
These three on-call contracts became effective on December 6, 2016 and will expire on December 6, 2018.
To retain the services of GradeTech, Inc., Hess Concrete Construction Co., Inc., and Engineered Soil Repairs, Inc., the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Contract Amendment #2 and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to sign Contract Amendment #2 for the County. Contract Amendment #2 will extend the completion dates for each contract from December 6, 2018 to December 6, 2019. There are no changes to the maximum payment limits.
These contracts originally had a term of one year, with the option of two one-year extensions. Contract Amendment #1 authorized one one-year extension and Contract Amendment #2 authorizes the use of the remaining one-year extension. Failure to approve Contract Amendment #2 may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine road, flood control, and airport maintenance work in a timely manner.
