RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement (contract) with David L. Gates & Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $500,000, to provide on-call landscape architect services for the period October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2025, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Special Revenue Funds.


BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in the development and review of landscape improvement projects throughout the County. As part of this regular work, consultant services are required to augment Public Works staff and provide special technical assistance on an on-call basis. After a solicitation process, David L. Gates & Associates, Inc., was one of three firms selected to provide landscape architecture services. These services include the managing, inspecting, and overseeing of developer and County landscape projects, as well as performing the duties of a landscape designer, landscape architect, landscape plan checker, landscape construction field inspector, grounds, and facilities inspector and/or playground safety inspector. The consultant will be involved in projects primarily for areas within the Countywide Landscaping District (LL-2) and County Service Areas (CSAs).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, this Consulting Services Agreement would not be executed. This would delay implementation of landscape improvements within various special districts in the County and may delay approval of right of way landscape improvements in private developments.
