SUBJECT:
Title
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT WITH RKA CONSULTING GROUP FOR AS-NEEDED ASSESSMENT ENGINEERING SERVICES (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The City Council has directed the formation of Citywide Community Facilities District (CFD) whereby developers would voluntary annex in their projects in order to assist in providing funding to offset the impacts of new projects on City's municipal services, including law enforcement and public works. The annexation process requires that the City retain an assessment district engineer to prepare the legally required CFD reports. On October 19, 2017, the City entered into an agreement with the firm RKA Consulting Group to provide as-needed assessment engineering services (Exhibit No. 1). The Planning Division has utilized the firm, RKA Consulting Group, on a temporary basis to calculate the annual assessment on a project-by-project basis, while the City completes work on the Citywide CFD. This temporary service allows the City to calculate the future assessment while the Citywide CFD is being formed.
As a result of this on-going measure while the Citywide CFD is being formed, the scope of work for this contract amendment is a one-year extension for these services in the amount not to exceed $25,000 for a total contract sum not to exceed $49,990. This amendment also ratifies certain services provided by Consultant between December 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018, consistent with the agreement, except for the term. Furthermore, it extends the contract to October 18, 2019. The total costs of the CFD engineering are paid by developers, so there is no impact to the City's General Fund.
