RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with LSA Associates, Inc., to extend the termination date from December 31, 2016 to April 4, 2017, with no change to the contract payment limit of $235,558, to complete work associated with the Camino Tassajara Shoulder Widening, 1.1 miles south of Highland Road to 0.30 mile north of Windemere Parkway-Environmental Studies Project, Project No. 0662-6R4072 / Federal Aid Project No. HSIPL-5928(110), San Ramon (Dougherty Valley) area. (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

40% Highway Safety Improvement Program Funds and 60% South County AOB Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Camino Tassajara Shoulder Widening, 1.1 miles south of Highland Road to 0.30 mile north of Windemere Parkway Project (Project), Project No. 0662-6R4072 is a partially federally funded Project which requires special environmental assessments and studies pursuant to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Clean Water Act, the Porter Cologne Water Act, and the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts.


On April 5, 2012, the Public Works Department entered into a standard contract with LSA Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $205,832 for environmental professional services for the Project.


On October 22, 2013, Contract Amendment No. 1, was approved, which added a second payment method (Specific Rate of Compensation) and increased the contract amount by $47,726, from $205,832 to $253,558, for additional necessary work for the Project.


On March 31, 2015, Contact Amendment No. 2, was approved to extend the contract term to December 31, 2015.


On November 3, 2015, Contract Amendment No. 3, was approved to extend the contract term to December 31, 2016.


Due to unexpected delays to the Project, the Contract term needs to be extended to April 4, 2017 to complete work associated with the Project.


All other terms and conditions of the original Contract, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, and this amendment between the County and the Contractor shall remain in full force and effect.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the amendment is not approved, the remaining work will not be completed to obtain necessary environmental clearances which may jeopardize funding and cause delays with construction.
