RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Cardno, Inc. effective October 31, 2015, to extend the contract termination date from October 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, with no change in the original payment limit of $500,000, to complete environmental services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

48% Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District Funds; 48% Local Road Funds; and 4% Airport Project Funds.

BACKGROUND:

On March 15, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved a three-year, on-call Contract with Entrix, Inc., d/b/a Cardno Entrix in an amount not to exceed $500,000 for On-Call Environmental Services. Since the original contract was approved, the Contractor has provided on-call environmental services for multiple projects. (All districts)

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 23, 2012, Contract Amendment No. 1 was approved to include revised Disadvantaged Business language; on November 1, 2012, Contract Amendment No. 2 was approved to include additional subconsultants; and, on March 3, 2015, Contract Amendment No. 3 was approved to change consultant name Entrix, Inc., d/b/a Cardno Entrix to from Cardno, Inc. and extend the contract term to October 31, 2015 in order to complete on-call services for the following three projects: 1) Routine Maintenance Agreement Training, 2) Jersey Island Bridge Repair-Biological/Cultural Surveys and Wetland Delineation; and 3) Clifton Road Bridge Repair-Biological/Cultural Surveys and Wetland Delineation.

Two of the projects have been completed: 1) Routine Maintenance Agreement Training and 2) Jersey Island Bridge Repair-Biological/Cultural Surveys. Due to unforeseen delays, the contract needs to be extended to complete the final project: Clifton Court Bridge Repair-Biological/Cultural Surveys and Wetland Delineation to allow time for regulatory agency review and edits to the biological report.

All other terms and conditions in this Contract entered into on March 15, 2012 between the County and the Contractor, previously approved Amendment No. 1, 2, 3, and not modified by this amendment shall remain in full force and effect.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
