RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FC District), or designee, to execute a contract amendment with GEI Consultants, Inc. (Consultant), effective November 1, 2018, to extend the termination date from November 2, 2018 through November 2, 2019, with no change to the payment limit, to provide on-call seismic assessment services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action is for an extension of time only. All costs associated with this on-call contract will not exceed $150,000 and will be funded by the FC District or Public Works Department under various project specific activities.

BACKGROUND:

The FC District provides regional flood protection and environmental stewardship for over 70 miles of streams, six major dams, and 29 detention basins, Countywide. An important part of managing this infrastructure is assessing its ability to withstand various perils, such as earthquakes. As such, the FC District is initiating a seismic assessment program for its flood control dams and other hydraulic structures. The FC District, at times, requires additional temporary services from persons specially trained, experienced, expert, and competent to perform professional engineering and technical services required for seismic assessment. For that reason, the FC District is entering into this contract amendment with Consultant. Under this contract amendment, Consultant will provide professional engineering and technical services relating to seismic assessment on an on-call basis for a variety of FC District projects throughout Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the FC District will be unable to obtain on-call services for seismic assessments.
