| 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., to provide on call civil engineering plan checking and construction inspection services. (Cost: $100,000) (Action Item) | Date: | 1/24/2017 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To request City Council approval to amend an agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., for on-call civil engineering plan checking and construction inspection services, increasing the initial agreement amount from $500,000 to $600,000, a $100,000 increase. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Land Development Section (Section) in the Engineering Division has two vacancies that comprise 50 percent of the Section’s staff, which will not be filled in the near term. With the local economy recovering, redevelopment activity is steadily increasing, creating heavier workloads and demanding faster turnaround times from staff. For these reasons, staff is requesting to add $100,000 to the existing agreement with Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., to cover consultant civil engineering plan checking and construction inspection services to meet development needs within the community. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The services required by Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., include plan checking 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 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 $500,000 to $600,000 – a $100,000 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.
