RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a contract amendment with Smith & Associates, Inc., to extend the term from May 24, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and to increase the payment limit by $75,000, to a new payment limit of $265,000, for continued on-call appraisal services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract is funded 100% by Local Road, Flood Control, various Special Revenue, and outside agency funds.

BACKGROUND:

In March 2015, the Public Works Department’s Real Estate Division (Division) requested a state of qualifications from various appraisal firms. After conducting interviews, Smith & Associates, Inc., was selected to provide appraisal services for road, flood control, airport, and various other projects.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Division continues to have a need for on-call appraisal services. Amending this contract will allow the Division to obtain services to complete existing projects without unnecessary delays.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Works Department will be unable to deliver timely appraisal reports for various projects.
