RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Fehr & Peers, to extend the term from April 17, 2020 to April 17, 2021, with no change to the original payment limit of $250,000 for continued countywide street lighting and on-call municipal engineering services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% County Service Area Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County which require street lighting and municipal engineering services. After a solicitation process, Fehr & Peers was selected as the firm to provide these services on an “on-call” basis. On April 18, 2017 the Board approved a 3-year contract with Fehr & Peers to provide these services. Public Works Department requests the Board to approve an amendment to extend the original contract date for one year. This extension would allow to complete tasks already in progress. Fehr & Peers will assist Public Works staff as needed and will be used when in-house expertise is not available.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there will be possible delays in completing projects requiring street lighting and municipal engineering services.
