The FC District provides regional flood protection, technical information, hydrology data and education to cities and residents, and environmental stewardship for over 70 miles of streams and several detention basins as part of the County’s flood protection system. The FC District is initiating a facility conditions assessment program for its flood control facilities, which includes, among other facilities, concrete channels, earthen channels, steel structures, drop structures, levees, detention basins, and other hydraulic structures (each referred to as “Facility”). The FC District, at times, requires additional temporary services from persons specially trained, experienced, expert, and competent to perform professional engineering and technical services required for Facility conditions assessment. For that reason, the FC District is entering into this Contract with Consultant. Under this Contract, Consultant will provide professional engineering and technical services relating to Facility conditions assessment on an on-call basis for a variety of FC District projects throughout Contra Costa County.
The Contract limits the Consultant’s liability for damages arising out of its errors or omissions in providing professional services under the Contract to $5,000,000, the amount stated in the Consultant’s professional liability insurance policy provided. This is for professional liability and does not limit the Consultant’s responsibility with regard to general liability claims.
Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the FC District will be unable to obtain on-call services for professional engineering and technical services relating to facility conditions assessment.
