SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH JAKHER INC. FOR ON-CALL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO JUNE 30, 2025, AND INCREASE THE TOTAL CONTRACT SUM AMOUNT TO $148,000 (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
On January 22, 2024, the City entered into a contract services agreement with Jakher Inc. to provide on-call project management services for the City's various pavement rehabilitation projects (Exhibit 1). The initial contract term was for one year with a total contract amount of $24,500. After four months into the contract period and extensive dialogue with the consultant, staff determined that the original scope and duties of the project was severely underestimated, and a contract amendment to increase the contract sum by $49,500 was approved on July 17, 2024 (Exhibit 2). With both the contract and subsequent amendment totaling up to $74,000, these agreements were both executed under the City Manager's authority per Section 2604 of the Carson Municipal Code.
Staff is now presenting a second amendment to the contract (Exhibit 3) to extend the term through June 30, 2025, and to increase the contract sum by $74,000 to allow the consultant to continue to provide the City with the on-call project management services during the extended period, thereby increasing the total contract sum to $148,000 which now requires City Council approval.
