On June 8, 2021, the County awarded two (2) on-call contracts for fencing services for various road, flood control, airport and facilities maintenance work, to supplement Public Works Maintenance crews during routine and emergency work, and to perform work that may be time-sensitive and may require specialized equipment and skills. These contracts have a term of one year, with the option of two one-year extensions.
The contracts were awarded in the priority below, became effective on June 8, 2021, and are set to expire on June 8, 2022.
1) Alta Fence Co., in a not-to-exceed amount ($400,000.00) and unit prices submitted in the bid ($1,524,00 Total Unit Price);
2) Crusader Fence Company, LLC, in a not-to-exceed amount ($400,000) and unit prices submitted in the bid ($3,028.00 Total Unit Price).
To retain the services of, and to enable timely payment to, Alta Fence Co. and Crusader Fence Company, LLC, the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Contract Amendment #1 and authorize the Public Director, or designee, to sign Contract Amendment #1 for the County. This amendment will extend the completion dates for each contract from June 8, 2022 to June 8, 2023. There are no changes to the maximum payment limits.
Failure to approve the contract amendment may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine and emergency road, flood control, airport and facilities maintenance work in a timely manner.
