RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Fehr & Peers, to extend the term from April 17, 2021 to April 17, 2022, for continued countywide street lighting and on-call municipal engineering services, with no change to the payment limit of $250,000, Countywide. (100% County Service Area Funds)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% County Service Area Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County which require street lighting and municipal engineering services. After a solicitation process, Fehr & Peers was selected as the firm to provide these services on an “on-call” basis. On April 18, 2017, the Board approved a three-year contract with Fehr & Peers to provide these services. The Public Works Department is requesting that the Board approve an amendment to extend the original contract date for one year. The extension would allow the completion of tasks already in progress. Fehr & Peers will assist Public Works staff as needed and will be used when in-house expertise is not available.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there will be possible delays in completing projects requiring street lighting and municipal engineering services.
