Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENTS TO PROVIDE ON-CALL ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO THE ENGINEERING DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, EXTENDING THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACTS
Body
I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson retains the services of On-Call Engineering Firms PA Arca Engineering and John Cruikshank Consultants Inc. (JMC2) 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 with PA Arca to provide professional services is not-to-exceed $500,000 with the term ending on June 30, 2023. The existing contract with JMC2 to provide professional services is not-to-exceed $850,000 with the term 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 PA Arca and JMC2 by extending the terms. The contract for PA Arca would be extended by six (6) additional months and the contract for JMC2 would be extended by one (1) additional year. If adopted, the contracts for PA Arca and JMC2 would be extended until December 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the amendment of the existing contracts with PA Arca and JMC2 as proposed for the consultants to continue to provide professional services to the city.
