RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with MNS Engineers, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to provide on-call land development engineering services for the period December 1, 2020 to November 30, 2023, Countywide. (All Districts) Project No.: Various.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Developer Fees.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in the review of land development projects throughout the County. As part of this regular work, consultant services are required to augment staff and provide special technical assistance on an on-call basis. After a solicitation process, MNS Engineers, Inc. was one of two firms selected to provide land development engineering services. These services include researching, writing, reviewing, and preparing conditions of approval for land development entitlements, as well as plan checking for conditions of approval compliance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the Public Works Department will be unable to complete land development engineering projects in a timely manner, therefore delaying completion of current and future land development projects.
