RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Interactive Resources, Inc., effective October 13, 2020, to extend the term from October 13, 2020 to October 13, 2021, with no change to the payment limit of $1,000,000, to continue to provide as-needed architectural services for various facilities projects, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% various funds as projects are awarded.

BACKGROUND:

On October 13, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved an as-needed Consulting Services Agreement with Interactive Resources, Inc. in the amount of $500,000.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On February 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 with Interactive Resources, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $400,000 to a new payment limit of $900,000, and to extend the term to October 13, 2019.

On December 17, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 2 with Interactive Resources, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of 1,000,000, and to extend the term to October 13, 2020 to provide architectural services for various on-going projects.

It is necessary to provide architectural services associated with the completion of ongoing projects.

Interactive Resources, Inc., is familiar with these active projects, and the design and construction of County facilities; therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be awarded.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, projects currently in process will be delayed, which will ultimately result in higher project costs.
