RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FC District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with GEI Consultants, Inc. (Consultant), to extend the term through March 18, 2024, for on-call facility design and conditions assessment, with no change to the payment limit, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action, as it is only to extend the term of the contract. This project, including the contract, will be funded 100% by FC District Funds. (Project No.: Various)

BACKGROUND:

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 initiated 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 entered into the contract with Consultant on March 19, 2019. Under the contract, Consultant provides 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the FC District will be unable to continue obtaining on-call services for professional engineering and technical services relating to Facility conditions assessment.
