RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Bodhaine Discing and Grading, to extend the term from June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2020 and increase the payment limit by $60,000 to a new payment limit of $120,000 to continue to provide weed abatement and general clean-up services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None to County General Fund. Costs are covered by the Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund for these sites now owned by the Housing Successor.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development (Housing Successor) staff selected Bodhaine Discing and Grading (Contractor), because the Contractor has already been providing weed abatement services for the Redevelopment Agency owned properties. Because of the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency and the change of the property maintenance responsibility to the County, as Housing Successor, and funding source, a new contract was signed with the Contractor on July 1, 2014 to provide annual weed abatement needs as well as on-call weed abatement and general property clean-up, as issues arise. The Contractor is familiar with the properties needing abatement and staff preferred not introduce a new vendor in order to avoid additional start-up costs due to limited source of funds available to maintain Housing Successor properties. As the need of services is ongoing, staff requests this amendment to allow the Contractor to continue to provide weed abatement and general clean-up services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract amendment is not approved, the Contractor will not be able to continue to provide the same required services.
