RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with ENGEO, Inc., effective May 5, 2015, to extend the term through January 15, 2017 and increase the payment limit by $150,000 to a new payment limit of $400,000 for additional on-call geotechnical engineering services associated with the Hookston Phase II Project, Pleasant Hill area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The increase in payment will be funded by Park Dedication Funds that have been approved for the Hookston Phase II Project.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved with various projects within the County that require geotechnical engineering consulting services. After a selection process in 2013, this firm and three other firms were selected to provide geotechnical engineering services on an “on-call” basis. During the past two years, the consultant has augmented Public Works staff with geotechnical engineering expertise on an as-needed basis. On September 10, 2013, the consulting services agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors. Since the agreement was approved, a project in the Iron Horse Corridor, Hookston Phase II moved forward which requires additional geotechnical expertise on an “on-call” basis. Approval of this Consulting Services Agreement Amendment No. 1 will allow the consultant to continue providing geotechnical engineering consulting services to the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval of the Board of Supervisors, there will be possible delays in completing the Hookston Phase II Project.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
