INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

| From: | William E. Murray
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Public Works
| | Subject: | Approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California Inc., for on-call civil plan checking services. (Increased Cost: $200,000) (Action Item) | Date: | 1/14/2020 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To request City Council authorization for Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., for on-call civil engineering plan checking, extending the term of the agreement for two-years and increasing the initial agreement amount from $600,000 to $800,000, a $200,000 increase. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Land Development Section in the Public Works Engineering Division has a vacancy for an Associate Engineer. This agreement will allow staff to keep pace with incoming redevelopment activity while we determine long-term staffing needs. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Redevelopment activity has steadily increased in recent years, creating heavier workloads and demanding faster turnaround times from staff. Therefore, staff is requesting to extend the consultant's services through February 28, 2022 and add $200,000 to the existing agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., to cover consultant civil engineering plan checking services to meet development needs.
The services required include plan checking of grading plans, street improvement plans, tenant improvements plans, Water Quality Improvement Plans, tentative and final parcel and tract maps, lot line adjustments, legal descriptions, survey and easement documents. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no additional impact to the General Fund. The costs for these services are fully recovered by land development fees charged to private development. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Approve Amendment No. 1 to the existing agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., increasing the initial agreement amount from $600,000 to $800,000, a $200,000 increase; and
- Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement on behalf of the City, and to make minor modifications as appropriate.
