RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Contract Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement with Swinerton Builders, effective February 9, 2016, to increase the payment limit by $250,000 to a new payment limit of $500,000, to continue providing “on-call” project management services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Federal, State, Local, and/or General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County, which require project management services for capital improvement projects. After a solicitation process, this Consultant was selected as one of four firms to provide project management services on an “on-call” basis to augment Public Works staff. The Board of Supervisors approved the Agreement with the Consultant on July 7, 2015.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This amendment to the Agreement is recommended because the County’s need for “on-call” project management consulting services is greater than initially anticipated. Increasing the payment limit will allow the Consultant to complete more projects.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
