Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT WITH RSG, INC. TO PROVIDE MOBILE HOME RENT REVIEW SERVICES (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
RSG, Inc., has provided the bulk of mobile home rent review services to the City since 2017. On May 7, 2020, the City issued RFP No. 20-008 to solicit proposals from qualified vendors to provide rent review program (Program) and housing compliance monitoring service to the City. After review of the proposals that had been received, it was determined that RSG, Inc. (RSG) had the most directly applicable experience to meet the needs of the City. In July 2020, the City entered into an agreement with RSG to provide Consulting Services through June 30, 2023, with a contract sum of $142,700 for the first year of the term and a not to exceed amount of $161,860 per year for the second and third years of the term. The Agreement contained an option to extend the term of the Agreement for two additional one-year terms, with a contract sum not to exceed $161,860 per year.
Although the original Agreement in 2020 allowed for two (2) one-year term extensions, staff and consultant desire to instead extend the term once through a two-year term extension. The proposed Contract Amendment ("Amendment No. 1") extends the term to June 30, 2025. No additional tasks to the existing scope are proposed.

The cost of the amendment remains at the current rate for a not to exceed amount of $161,860 per year (for total of $323,720 for two years). A large portion of the costs associated with providing mobile home rent review services are primarily covered by application fees paid by mobile home park owners for fair return and capital improvement rent increases....
