RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with WSP USA Inc., to increase the payment limit by $400,000 to a new payment limit of $750,000 for on-call construction management services, with no change to the term September 21, 2021 through September 30, 2024, Countywide. (Project No. Various) (All Districts)  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this amendment is funded by developer fees, local, state and federal funds for local road, flood control, and airport projects. (100% Various Funds)  
  




BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County that require construction management services for roads, flood control, and airport projects. WSP is one of seven firms contracted to provide construction services on an “on-call” basis. The consultant may augment Public Works staff on an as-needed basis. They may be used as an extension of Public Works staff during busy times when extra help is needed or when in-house expertise is not available.  
  
This amendment increases the payment limit, which is necessary for the continuation of on-call construction management services.  
  
Government Code Section 31000 and 4525 authorizes the County to contract for services, including the type of construction management services that WSP provides.  
  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

  
Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there is possible delay in completing projects requiring construction management services. Executing this amendment will facilitate the process of design and construction for various Public Works projects requiring construction management expertise.
