Title
CONSIDER AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AGREEMENT FOR ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN REVIEW SERVICES WITH RRM DESIGN GROUP (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
In 2015, in an effort to encourage a higher level of architectural design in new private development in Carson, the City entered an agreement with RRM Design Group to provide as-needed architectural and landscape design review services for one year, extendable up to two additional one-year terms at the City's election for a contract sum of $60,000 per year (maximum of $180,000 for the three years).
Since the initial agreement, the City approved amendments to the indemnification provision and the scope of work to include as-needed architectural design services for applicants in the Community Block Grant (CDBG)-funded Commercial Improvement Program, and exercised its options extending the Consultant's services through August 31, 2018. Additionally, with an anticipated increase in the occurrences of Consultant's services over the second extended term the City approved increasing the contract sum by an additional $50,000, to a maximum of $230,000 for the three years.
In order to continue providing a high level of architectural and landscape design review services for development and CDBG projects while a RFP is being prepared, the scope of work for this contract amendment is a one-year extension and will increase compensation by $75,000 for a total contract sum not to exceed $305,000. The expiration date of the contract as amended is August 31, 2019.
The entire cost of the services is paid by developers, so there is no impact to the City's General Fund.
