BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public Works Real Estate Division is currently understaffed and in need of additional right of way acquisition assistance for the City’s project. The City’s project schedule is under a constricted timeline and assistance is necessary to meet the acquisition deadlines for the City’s federally funded project. Under this contract, PDM Group, Inc. will provide right of way services to the County related to the City’s project.

The contract includes modified indemnification language. The requirement that the contractor defend the County and pays for any County-selected defense of any claims has been deleted.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be able to provide adequate services to the City.
