RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM), effective March 2, 2019, to extend the term from March 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, for on-call civil engineering services, with no increase to the original payment limit of $250,000, Countywide. (County Project No. 0662-6R6113)(All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this amendment is funded by 100% Local Road Funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract amendment is not approved, the Pacheco Avenue Alignment Study, Blum Road to Morello Avenue will experience delays and added costs as the County solicits for new professional services which will duplicate previous work.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County which require civil engineering consulting services for road, flood control, and airport projects. After a solicitation process in 2016, this firm and three other firms were selected to provide civil engineering services on an “on-call” basis. On March 1, 2016, a consulting service agreement with AECOM was approved by the Board of Supervisors.

Since the original consulting service agreement was executed, the Consultant provided on-call civil engineering services on the Pacheco Avenue Alignment Study, Blum Road to Morello Avenue. This project is on-going and requires Consultant’s engineering services beyond the Agreement’s March 1, 2019 expiration. In order to allow this project to continue without disruption, the contract is being extended solely for the completion of this project.

Proposed Amendment No. 1 will extend the contract termination date from March 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, with no increase to the original payment limit of $250,000.

Approval of Amendment No. 1 for this Consulting Services Agreement will allow the Consultant to continue to provide civil engineering services for the Pacheco Avenue Alignment Study, Blum Road to Morello Avenue, through December 31, 2019.
