RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Alcalde & Fay, effective December 4, 2018, to extend the term from December 31, 2018 through June 30, 2019 and increase the payment limit by $54,250 to a new payment limit of $688,142 for continued federal advocacy services, subject to approval as to form by County Counsel.
FISCAL IMPACT:
County General Funds have been budgeted for these services.
BACKGROUND:
Alcalde & Fay, minority-controlled/employee-owned firm, is the County’s current federal representative. Paul Schlesinger, the County’s point person at Alcalde & Fay, has established the County’s presence in Washington, D.C. and developed excellent relationships with staff of our congressional delegation. The result has been a very positive “return on investment” for the County for its appropriation and authorization requests.
