RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORJZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Fennie + Mehl Architects, effective October 17, 2021, to increase the payment limit by $50,000 to a new payment limit of $350,000 and to extend the term from October 17, 2021 to April 17, 2023, and to amend the insurance requirements of the original contract, to provide architectural services for the CCTV- Generator Project, 10 Douglas Drive, Martinez.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Public Education and Government Cable Access Funds.

BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved a Consulting Services Agreement (contract) with Fennie + Mehl Architects in the amount of $280,000.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 22, 2019, the Board of Supervisor approved Amendment No. 1 with Fennie + Mehl Architects increasing the pay limit by $20,000 to a new pay limit of $300,000 and extending the term to October 17, 2021.

Amendment No. 2 is necessary to provide architectural services and additional costs associated with the completion of the CCTV - Generator Project which is anticipated to be completed in early 2023.

Fennie + Mehl Architects and the specialized engineering consultants assembled for the CCTV - Generator Project have the design and technical experience that is appropriate to the scale and scope of this project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If Amendment No. 2 is not approved the project will be delayed, which will ultimately result in higher project costs.
