RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute construction contract amendments #1 with Alta Fence Co. and Crusader Fence Company, Inc. to extend the completion dates for each contract from March 13, 2019 to March 13, 2020 for the 2018 On-Call Fencing Services Contract(s) for Various Road, Flood Control, Airport and Facilities Maintenance Work, with no change to the payment limit, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road, Flood Control District, Airport Enterprise, and Facilities Funds.

BACKGROUND:

On March 13, 2018, the County awarded two on-call fencing services contracts for various road, flood control, airport, and facilities maintenance work to supplement the maintenance crews’ routine and emergency work while they are busy with other activities, and to perform work that is typically time-sensitive and may require specialized equipment and skills, in the following priority order:

Alta Fence Co., in a not-to-exceed amount ($400,000) and unit prices submitted in the bid ($1,448.25 Total Unit Price);

Crusader Fence Company, Inc., in a not-to-exceed amount ($400,000) and unit prices submitted in the bid ($2,719.00 Total Unit Price);

These two on-call contracts became effective on March 13, 2018 and will expire on March 13, 2019.

To retain the services of and to enable timely payment to Alta Fence Co. and Crusader Fence Company, Inc., the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Contract Amendment #1 and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to sign Contract Amendment #1 for the County. Contract Amendment #1 will extend the completion dates for each contract from March 13, 2019 to March 13, 2020. There are no changes to the maximum payment limits.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

These contracts have a term of one year, with the option of two one-year extensions. Failure to approve Contract Amendment #1 may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine road, flood control, airport, and facilities maintenance work in a timely manner.
