RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Vanir Construction Management, Inc., (Vanir) to add sub consultant, Coact Designworks, Inc. with no change to the termination date of May 9, 2022 or the payment limit of $10,004,948, to provide third party plan review services for the New Administration Building, Emergency Operations Center/ Public Safety Building, and the West County Re-Entry Treatment and Housing Replacement Project and related work.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact

BACKGROUND:

Vanir was selected to provide construction management services on a New Administration Building, Emergency Operations Center/Public Safety Building and the West County Re-Entry Treatment and Housing Replacement Project. As the necessary scope of third party plan review services was not defined at that time, the sub-consultant best suited to provide these services was not identified. The scope of work for third party review to support DCD permitting submittals and an expedited schedule of fast-tracking is now apparent and Coact Designworks, Inc. is being proposed to provide these reviews as a sub-consultant to Vanir. Government Code Section 31000 authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of third party plan review services that Coact Designworks provides.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Works Department does not have the technical staff to provide these services. If the amendment is not approved, the projects could be delayed and most likely incur increases in the cost of construction and reduce quality oversight.
