RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Elam's Consulting & Inspection Services, Inc., to extend the term from February 5, 2022 through February 5, 2023 and increase the payment limit by $110,000 to a new payment limit of $400,000 to provide on-call inspector of record services for various health facilities projects, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this on-call contract is funded with various funds when there is an approved project and funding. (100% Various Funds)

BACKGROUND:

On February 5, 2019, the Public Works Director approved an on-call contract with Elam's Consulting & Inspection Services, Inc., in the amount of $95,000.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 8, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to increase the payment limit by $195,000 to a new payment limit of $290,000, with no change to the term of the contract.

Amendment No. 2 is necessary to continue to provide on-call inspector of record services and the additional costs associated with the completion of ongoing and new projects. Elam's Consulting & Inspection Services, Inc. is familiar with these active projects, and the design and construction of health care facilities. Therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be approved at this time.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval, the Consultant will not be able to provide on-call construction management/project management services to complete necessary capital projects, which may jeopardize funding and delay design and construction of capital projects.
