RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute amendment number 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement with Stantec Architecture, Inc., effective July 1, 2016, to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $350,000, to continue providing on-call landscape architect services to complete existing projects, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Federal, State, Local, and/or General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

On March 31, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Stantec Architecture, Inc. to provide on-call landscape architect services. Due to the nature of on-call work and unknown conditions in the field, costs that were not originally anticipated were incurred. Special Districts staff recommends increasing the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $350,000. Amending the payment limit would allow the Consultant to complete existing projects and provide the County the flexibility to cover any further unexpected costs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval, the Consultant will not be able to continue providing on-call landscape architect services to complete existing projects.
