RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Chief Engineer, Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FC District), or designee, to execute a contract amendment (Amendment No. 2) with GEI Consultants, Inc. (Consultant), to extend the term from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2019, to provide on-call facility assessment services, with no change to the payment limit, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All costs associated with this contract will not exceed $500,000 and will be funded 100% by FC District funds and local road funds under various project specific activities.

BACKGROUND:

The FC District provides regional flood protection, technical information, hydrology data and education to cities and residents, and environmental stewardship for over 70 miles of streams and several detention basins as part of the County’s flood protection system. The FC District is executing a facility conditions assessment program for its flood control facilities, which includes, among other facilities, concrete channels, earthen channels, steel structures, drop structures, levees, detention basins, and other hydraulic structures (each referred to as “Facility”). The FC District, at times, requires additional temporary services from persons specially trained, experienced, expert, and competent to perform professional engineering and technical services required for Facility conditions assessment. For that reason, the FC District is entering into this contract with Consultant. Under this Agreement, Consultant will provide professional engineering and technical services relating to Facility conditions assessment on an on-call basis for a variety of FC District projects throughout Contra Costa County. Some of these services may be provided for County road drainage infrastructure, and those services will be paid for with local road funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the FC District will be unable to obtain on-call services for professional engineering and technical services relating to Facility conditions assessments.
