RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a contract extension with Smith & Associates, Inc., to extend the termination date from May 24, 2018 to May 24, 2019, with no change to the payment limit, for continued on-call appraisal services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract is funded 100% by Road, Flood Control, various Special Revenue and outside agency funds. There is no fiscal impact to this action as it is an extension to the existing contract only.

BACKGROUND:

In March 2015, the Public Works Department’s Real Estate Division (Division) requested a statement 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.

The Division continues to have a need for on-call appraisal services. Extending this contract will allow the Division to obtain services when needed without unnecessary delays.

Government code section 31000 authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of services that Smith & Associates, Inc. provides.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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