I. SUMMARY
In June 2017, the City entered into an agreement with Dyett & Bhatia, Urban & Regional Planners to provide planning services to update the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, in the amount of $1,110,194 (Exhibit 1). As work to update the General Plan has progressed, the agreement has been amended twice: on June 5, 2018 Amendment No. 1 (Exhibit No. 2) added $65,000 to the agreement to incorporate public outreach strategies to increase project awareness and community engagement; and, on February 18, 2020 Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit No. 3) added $196,970 to the agreement to provide evaluation of the Carson Circuit and Dial-A-Ride services and to implement the Senate Bill 743 Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) approach into the traffic and circulation element of the General Plan.
On June 17, 2020 the City of Carson applied for the Local Early Action Planning Grant (Exhibit No. 4), a reimbursable state grant that would provide for an updated Housing Element, new Environmental Justice Element and new Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance. On October 16, 2020 the City was notified that it had been approved for Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant funding in the amount of $300,000 (Exhibit No. 5).
Staff is recommending the City Council approve Amendment No. 3 to the agreement with Dyett & Bhatia (Exhibit No. 6) to increase the contract amount by $300,000, which will be reimbursed by state grant funds and increase the total contract amount from $1,372,164.00 to $1,672,164.00, and adopt Resolution No. 20-169 (Exhibit No. 7).
