RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Kerex Engineering, Inc., effective November 12, 2019, to increase the payment limit by $150,000 to a new payment limit of $300,000, with no change to the term March 28, 2017 to March 28, 2020 for the 2017 On-Call Concrete Services Contract(s) for Various Road and Flood Control Maintenance Work, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road and Flood Control District Funds.

BACKGROUND:

On March 28, 2017, the County awarded two on-call concrete services contracts for various road and flood control maintenance work to supplement the maintenance crews routine and emergency work while they are busy with other activities, and to perform work that is typically time-sensitive and may require specialized equipment and skills.  

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
Contract Amendment #1, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 13, 2018, extended the completion dates for each contract from March 28, 2017 to March 28, 2020. Sposeto Engineering, Inc. did not seek to extend their contract, thus leaving only Kerex Engineering, Inc. available to perform work.  
  
Due to the expired contract with Sposeto Engineering, Inc. in March 2018, additional funds are required so that Kerex Engineering, Inc. may perform work that would have otherwise been performed by Sposeto Engineering, Inc. The Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Contract Amendment #2 and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to sign Contract Amendment #2 for the County. Contract Amendment #2 will increase the maximum payment limit for Kerex Engineering, Inc. from $150,000 to $300,000.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

These contracts originally had a term of one year, with the option of two one-year extensions. Contract Amendment #1 authorized one two-year extension of each contract. Contract Amendment #2 increases the payment limit of the contract with Kerex Engineering, Inc. to ensure sufficient funds to complete this year's projects in light of Sposeto Engineering Inc,'s contract expiration. Failure to approve Contract Amendment #2 may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine road and flood control concrete maintenance work in a timely manner.
