RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with PDM Group, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $185,000 for project management and right of way services during the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for these services will be charged to the various projects. (100% Department User Fees)

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Real Estate Division is in need of additional project management and right of way services for County projects. As directed by the Public Works Director, or designee (Principal Real Property Agent), PDM Group, Inc. will continue to provide the County project management and right of way services for the Concord Naval Weapons Station project, 2555 El Portal Drive project, the 100 38th Street Sell Richmond Health Center project , and other matters as may be assigned. The County will pay the contractor between $127 and $282 per hour for services performed under the contract, with the rate based on the classification of the person (i.e., either contractor or a subcontractor) who performs the service.

The contract includes modified indemnification language. The requirement that the contract defend the County and pay for any County-selected defense of any claims has been deleted. The contract continues to require the contractor to indemnify the County to the extent that third-party liabilities arise from the contractor’s negligence or willful misconduct.

The contract also includes modified Commercial General Liability Insurance language, Workers’ Compensation language, and Automobile Insurance language. These changes have been reviewed by Risk Management.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval, these services would not be provided by this contractor, which could result in projects being delayed.
