RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Quality Assurance Engineering Inc., (d/b/a Consolidated Engineering Laboratories), effective November 5, 2019 to increase the payment limit by $400,000 to a new payment limit of $1,250,000 and to extend the term from June 26, 2021 to June 26, 2022 to provide on-call materials testing and inspection services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this on-call contract is funded with charges to various facilities projects.

BACKGROUND:

On June 26, 2018, the Board or Supervisors approved a Standard Contract in the amount of $850,000 through the period of June 26, 2021.  
  




BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On December 27, 2018, the Public Works Department approved an Administrative Amendment Agreement, Amendment No. 1 to increase rates.  
  
The Public Works Department is involved in various Facilities projects in the County that require materials testing and inspection services. Government Code section 31000 authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of material testing and inspections services that Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc.(d/b/a Consolidated Engineering Laboratories) provides.  
  
The contract payment limit of $850,000 has nearly been reached. Amendment No. 2 is necessary to provide for the additional costs associated with completion of material testing and inspection services for existing and new projects.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board of Supervisors approval, there is a possible delay in completing current projects requiring materials testing and inspection services. Executing this amendment will facilitate the process of various County Facilities projects requiring materials testing and inspection expertise.
