RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Associated Right of Way Services, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $350,000, for on-call project management and right of way services for the period April 12, 2022, through April 11, 2024, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Department User Fees. Funds for these services will be charged to project accounts.

BACKGROUND:

With the number of projects anticipated in the coming years, the Public Works Real Estate Division is in need of supplemental project management and right of way services in connection with those projects. Associated Right of Way Services, Inc., is qualified to perform those services when needed and requested by the County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under a standard services contract with the County, Associated Right of Way Services, Inc., will perform project management and right of way services when and to the extent requested by the County. The County will pay Associated Right of Way Services, Inc., hourly, at rates that range from $75.00 to $400.00, depending on the service for all services performed under the Contract.

Considering the County’s need for these specialized services, and the contractor’s particular qualifications to provide these services, it is recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval, these services would not be provided by this contractor, which could result in projects being delayed.
