RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Hawley, Peterson & Snyder, Architects (HPS), effective March 8, 2022, to extend the term from October 8, 2022 through October 8, 2023, and increase the payment limit by $500,000 to a new payment limit of $1,250,000 to provide on-call architectural services for various facilities projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Projects will be assigned to the on-call architect when there is an approved project and funding. (100% Various Funds)

BACKGROUND:

On October 8, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved an as-needed Consulting Services Agreement with HPS, in the amount of $750,000.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

HPS will continue to provide typical architectural services, such as programming, design and construction administration. The type, size, and location of projects will vary. Typical projects may include new construction, building renovations/modernizations, remodeling of an entire building or specific areas within a building, tenant improvements, exterior building restorations, Mechanical-Electrical-Plumbing upgrades, structural improvements, code-related improvements and deferred maintenance projects. Project may also include fire district building projects. Extending this as-needed agreement will save the County money when compared with the time and expense in conducting a consultant selection process on a project-by-project basis, will allow the design phase to commence sooner and provide for a shorter completion schedule.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If amendment No. 1 is not approved, projects currently in process will be delayed, which will ultimately result in higher project costs.
