Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENTS FOR CONTRACT SERVICES TO PROVIDE ON-CALL ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO THE ENGINEERING DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, EXTENDING THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACTS UNTIL JUNE 30, 2024.

I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson retains the services of On-Call Engineering Firm KOA Corporation and On-Call Architecture Firm Westberg and White, Inc. to assist the Public Works Department in developing the necessary plans, specifications and estimates for City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects.
The existing contract amounts with KOA Corporation and Westberg and White, Inc. to provide professional services is not-to-exceed $850,000 with the terms ending on June 30, 2023.
Based on the existing projects these consultants are working on and the need for professional services beyond the term ending June 30, 2023, it was concluded that the existing amount of time for each consulting firm is insufficient to complete the tasks assigned and timetable of projects. Staff is recommending time extensions to allow the City to utilize their services in order to remain timely with project completion.
The recommendations, if adopted, would amend contract provisions of the contracts with KOA Corporation and Westberg and White, Inc. by extending the terms by one (1) additional year. If adopted, the contracts for KOA Corporation and Westberg and White, Inc. would be extended until June 30, 2024.
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the amendment of the existing contracts with KOA Corporation and Westberg and White, Inc. as proposed for the consultants to continue to provide professional services to the City.
