RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Loving Campos Associates, Architects, Inc. d/b/a LCA Architects, Inc., effective October 11, 2022, to increase the payment limit by $200,000 to a new payment limit of $700,000 for on-call architectural services, with no change to the term November 11, 2019 through November 11, 2023, Countywide. (100% Various Capital Project Funds)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% various capital project funds as projects are awarded.

BACKGROUND:

On November 11, 2019, the County entered into a three-year contract with Loving Campos Associates, Architects, Inc. d/b/a LCA Architects (LCA) for as-needed architectural services with a payment limit of $195,000.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 13, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 which increased the payment limit by $205,000 to a new payment limit of $400,000 and extended the term through November 11, 2023.

On September 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 2 increasing the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $500,000, with no change to the term.

Currently, there is $16,000 remaining on their contract; therefore, Public Works is requesting the Board approve Amendment No. 3 to increase the payment limit by $200,000 to a new payment limit of $700,000. This will enable LCA to continue providing as-needed architectural services for ongoing and future projects throughout the County.

LCA is very familiar with countywide projects for design and construction Therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be approved at this time.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If Amendment No. 3 is not approved, projects currently in process will be delayed which will ultimately result in higher project costs.
