RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering, effective December 1, 2017 to November 30, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, to provide on-call land development engineering services, Countywide. Project No.: Various

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Developer Fees.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in the review of land development projects throughout the County. As part of this regular work, consultant services are required to augment staff and provide special technical assistance on an on-call basis. After a solicitation process, Willdan Engineering was one of three firms selected to provide land development engineering services. These services include researching, writing, reviewing, and preparing conditions of approval for land development entitlements as well as plan checking for conditions of approval compliance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, the Public Works Department will be unable to complete land development engineering projects in a timely manner, therefore delaying completion of current and future land development projects.
