RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Applied Materials and Engineering, Inc., effective April 27, 2021, to increase the payment limit by $500,000 to a new payment limit of $1,350,000 and extend the term from June 26, 2021 to December 31, 2022, to provide as-needed material testing and inspection services for various County projects, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this contract is funded with charges to various facilities projects. (100% Various Funds)

BACKGROUND:

On June 26, 2018 the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Applied Materials & Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $850,000 through the period of June 26, 2021. The contract payment limit of $850,000 has nearly been reached. Amendment No. 2 is necessary to provide for the additional costs associated with completion of material testing and inspection services for existing and new County projects.


The Public Works Department is involved in various facilities projects in the County that require materials testing and inspection services. Government Code section 31000 authorized the County to contract for services including the type of material testing and inspections services provided by Applied Materials & Engineering, Inc. Therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be awarded at this time.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board of Supervisors approval, there will be a possible delay in completing current projects requiring materials testing and inspection services. Executing this amendment will facilitate the process of various County facilities projects requiring materials testing and inspection expertise.
