RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Perkins Eastman Architects D.P.C., effective March 29, 2022, to extend the term from June 26, 2022 through June 26, 2023 and increase the payment limit by $500,000 to a new payment limit of $2,000,000, to provide as-needed architectural services for various facilities projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

On June 26, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved an as-needed Consulting Services Agreement with Perkins Eastman Architects D.P.C., in the amount of $750,000.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On August 4, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to increase the pay limit by $750,000 to a new pay limit of 1,500,000 and to extend the term one year.

Perkins Eastman Architects D.P.C. is familiar with the County's active projects, and the design and construction of typical building types.

If Amendment No. 2 is approved, Perkins Eastman Architects D.P.C. will continue to provide architectural services, such as programming, design and construction administration. The type, size and location of projects vary. Typical projects may include new construction, building renovations/modernizations, remodeling of an entire building or specific areas within a building, tenant improvements and deferred maintenance projects. Projects may also include fire district building projects. Extending this as-needed contract will allow the design phase to commence sooner and provide for a shorter project completion schedule of projects. Therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be awarded at this time.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If Amendment No. 2 is not approved, projects currently in process will be delayed, which will ultimately result in higher project costs.
