RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Francisco & Associates, Inc., to extend the term from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017 and increase the payment limit by $25,000, to a new payment limit of $125,000, to continue providing pipeline franchise administration services, Countywide. Project No.: Various

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Pipeline Franchise Fees.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department administers the countywide pipeline franchise agreements. Francisco & Associates will assist with the administration of the County’s pipeline franchise agreements. Francisco & Associates is a local SBE vendor and is registered on the Purchasing Portal and BidSync.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 1, 2014, the Purchasing Agent approved a contract with Francisco & Associates, Inc., with a payment limit not to exceed $50,000, to provide pipeline franchise administration services.

On May 1, 2015, the Purchasing Agent approved contract Amendment No. 1 to increase the payment limit from $50,000 to $100,000, with no change to the original term to provide pipeline franchise administration services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, this amendment will not be executed and the Department will not have the assistance that is needed to administer pipeline franchises.
