CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FOR PROJECT NO.1515 - CARSON STORMWATER CAPTURE FACILITY AT CARRIAGE CREST PARK EXTENDING THE CONTRACT THROUGH SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 (CITY COUNCIL)

Due to delays in project completion, the District was not able to complete all the contract services by the original contract term of June 30, 2022. To address the delays, staff prepared Amendment No. 1 to the existing contract, extending the term to September 30, 2023 (Exhibit No. 2), which was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and District staff.

Recently, there were water leaks in the equipment vaults resulting in damage to the electrical equipment, for which the designer and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District will be making the necessary adjustments and corrections by November 2024.

With the expectation that the project will be completed in November 2024, a second amendment to the contract is necessary for District to provide certain construction work and to extend the estimated completion of the O&M work to September 2025....
