RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Alta Fence Co., to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $500,000 to provide on-call fencing services for various road, flood control, airport and facilities maintenance work, with no change to the term, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded by various Local Road, Flood Control District, Airport Enterprise and General Funds. (100% Various Funds)

BACKGROUND:

On June 8, 2021, the County awarded two (2) on-call contracts for fencing services for various road, flood control, airport and facilities maintenance work, to supplement Public Works Maintenance crews during routine and emergency work, and to perform work that may be time-sensitive and may require specialized equipment and skills. These contracts have a term of one year, with the option of two one-year extensions.

The contracts were awarded and became effective on June 8, 2021. On June 7, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment No. 1 for each contract, extending the completion date for each contract from June 8, 2022 through June 8, 2023. There were no changes to the maximum payment limits.

To retain the services of and enable timely payment to Alta Fence Co., the Public Works Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve Contract Amendment No. 2 and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to sign Contract Amendment No. 2 for the County. This amendment will increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $500,000, with no change to the contract term.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the contract amendment may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine and emergency road, flood control, airport and facilities maintenance work in a timely manner.
