SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RE|SOLUTIONS, LLC, EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT FROM MAY 31, 2017 TO JULY 31, 2017 AND INCREASING THE CONTRACT AMOUNT BY $100,000, TO COVER COSTS INCURRED DURING JUNE AND JULY, TO A TOTAL OF $400,000
Body
I. SUMMARY
This action would ratify the extension of the Professional Services Agreement with RE|Solutions, LLC (RES), extending its term from May 31, 2017 to July 31, 2017, and increasing the contract amount by $100,000. The Board approved an Environmental Risk Manager contract with RES at a Special Meeting on June 21, 2017, but the drafting and execution of the final version of the contract is more complex than anticipated, and the overall project schedule could not bear a stoppage of work by RES during this period. Staff recommended the Contractor continue to work under the terms of the existing contract until the new contract is executed.

Body
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action the Reclamation Authority Board deems appropriate.
