On July 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved an as-needed Consulting Services Agreement with KMD Architects (KMD), in the amount of $750,000. On June 16, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 with KMD in the amount of $750,000 and extended the term to July 10, 2022. On November 1, 2020, the Public Works Department approved an Administrative Amendment Agreement, Amendment No. 1 to change KMD's address.
KMD is familiar with these active projects, and the design and construction of typical building types and health care facilities. Therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be awarded at this time.
KMD will continue to provide architectural services, such as programming, design and construction administration. The type, size and location of projects vary. Typical projects may include new construction, building renovations/modernizations, remodeling of an entire building or specific areas within a building, tenant improvements, exterior building restorations, mechanical-electrical-plumbing upgrades, structural improvements, code-related improvements and deferred maintenance projects. Projects may also include fire district buildings projects. Extending this as-needed agreement will save the county money when compared with the time and expense in conducting a consultant selection process on a project-by project basis, will allow the design phase to commence sooner and provide for a shorter project completion schedule.
