RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the governing body of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 to Consulting Services Agreement with RRM Design Group, effective July 14, 2020, to increase the pay limit by $237,000 to a new pay limit of $557,000, to modify sub consultants, and update the project personnel and billing rates, to provide architectural services for the new Fire Station No. 70 project at 1800 23rd Street in San Pablo.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The new Fire Station 70 construction project is being funded with $10 million from Contra Costa County Fire Protection District reserves and a $4.5 million contribution from the City of San Pablo.

BACKGROUND:

In late 2015, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) initiated the process for the design of a replacement facility for Fire Station 70 (FS 70) in San Pablo, now located at 1800 23rd Street, San Pablo. On March 12, 2019, construction of the station was awarded to Alten Construction.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 16, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved the Consulting Services Agreement with RRM Desgn Group to manage the construction administration phase of the new Fire Station No. 70.

Since the execution of the Agreement, construction delays, unforeseen conditions, and filed changes require modifications to the originally specified sub-consultants and additional time for consultants to review and respond to project issues. To better serve the needs and scope of work required for the project, this amendment provides for an additional consultant and billing hours and rate modifications.

This Consulting Services Agreement is administered by the County Public Works Department on behalf of the District.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the agreement is not approved, architectural services performed by RRM Design Group will not be completed and the quality of delivery of the project will be negatively impacted.
