RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with CH2M Hill, Inc., effective November 5, 2015, to extend the termination date from November 5, 2015 to November 5, 2017, for on-call structural engineering services, with no change to the original payment limit of $250,000, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this amendment is funded by developer fees; and various other local, state and federal funds for road, flood control, and airport projects.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County, which require structural engineering consulting services for road, flood control, and airport projects. After a solicitation process in 2012, this firm and four other firms were selected to provide structural engineering services on an “on-call” basis. On November 6, 2012, a consulting service agreement with CH2M Hill, Inc. was approved by the Board of Supervisors.

Since the original consulting service agreement was executed, the Consultant provided on-call structural engineering services on multiple projects. While most of these projects have been completed, there are several on-going projects that have task orders that require Consultant’s engineering services beyond the Agreement’s November 5, 2015 expiration. In order to allow these task orders to continue without disruption, the contract is being extended solely for the completion of these task orders. The Consultant needs to complete the following:

Wildcat/San Pablo Creeks LLCR Project: Task Order No. 4
Deer Creek Bridge at Paloma Canyon Project: Task Order No. 5
Village Center Trail Pedestrian Bridge over Alamo Creek Project: Task Order No. 6

Approval of this Consulting Services Agreement Amendment No. 1 will allow the Consultant to continue providing structural engineering consulting services to complete the task orders through December 31, 2017. No increase in the contract amount.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract amendment is not approved, the projects will experience delays and added costs as County solicits for new professional services which will duplicate previous work.
