RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Fehr & Peers, effective April 1, 2018, to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $250,000 and extend the term from April 1, 2018 through April 1, 2019, to provide on-call transportation engineering services, Countywide.Project No.: Various. (All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road and Transportation Funds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Public Works Department (Public Works) builds and maintains road infrastructure in unincorporated Contra Costa County (County). The consultants will advise Transportation Engineering staff on appropriate transportation improvement measures and construction costs given a specific transportation issue on a roadway. Typical planning projects include, but are not limited to, traffic congestion relief, traffic lane reconfiguration, traffic safety improvement, pedestrian safety improvement, traffic calming improvements, traffic signal design, specifications and modifications, preparation of studies to update or establish a mitigation fee program, and preparation of studies and implementation of transportation demand management programs.

After a solicitation process, this firm was selected as one of five firms to provide on-call transportation engineering services and is pre-qualified so Public Works may solicit and contract with the firm for anticipated project-specific contracts to assist Public Works Transportation Engineering staff with completing transportation engineering tasks. The original on-call transportation engineering services contracts will terminate on April 1, 2018.

Approval of the Contract Amendment will allow this firm to continue to provide the above-mentioned services for an additional year and complete any existing tasks.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Contract is not approved, necessary transportation projects may not be completed in a timely manner which may jeopardize funding and delay design and construction of various road projects.
