SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE EXISTING AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL, INC. FOR THE STORMWATER FACILITIES IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Body
I. SUMMARY
On May 3, 2022, Michael Baker International (MBI) was awarded Contract No. 22-102 to create a comprehensive Stormwater Facilities Implementation Plan (SWFIP) that will inform the City's Stormwater Capital Planning, Maintenance, Operations, and Program Management and provide guidance on stormwater compliance, financial strategy, and non-structural programs.
On June 14, 2023, Amendment No. 1 was approved, addressing additional stormwater tasks needed by the City, extending the contract term to January 31, 2024 and increasing the contract sum, to complete the primary tasks outlined in the scope of work and add extra work.
After execution of the Amendment, it became apparent that the extension was not sufficient to complete several of the tasks identified in the amended contract. While most tasks are scheduled to be completed in 2024, Task No. 6 includes design and construction support for Green Streets, which is expected to occur through October 2025 due to the length of typical construction times.
The Public Works Department is requesting City Council approval of the proposed Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit No. 1) to extend the term of the contract to October 31, 2025, allowing consultant sufficient time to perform the additional services through construction.
