RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Contract Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement (CSA) with WSP USA, Inc. effective May 1, 2018, to change the termination date from June 30, 2018 to December 30, 2018 and increase the payment limit by $230,000 to a new payment limit of $630,000, for construction management services for the Balfour Road Shoulder Widening Project (Project), for the period of May 9, 2017, through December 30, 2018, Brentwood area. (Project No. 0662-6R4002) (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project, including the CSA, is funded by 100% Discovery Bay Mitigation Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The project consists of pavement widening and installing shoulder backing, including utility relocations, drainage systems, driveway conforms, relocating mailboxes, signing, thermoplastic striping and pavement markings in the Brentwood area, California. WSP USA, Inc. was selected to provide construction management services for the project.


Proposed Amendment No. 1 will amend the termination date and payment limits in order to provide additional construction management services that are needed to successfully complete the project. The project experienced heavy delays due to utility conflicts which necessitate the second phase of the project to be constructed in the following construction season.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The project completion would be delayed.
