CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND TAFOYA & ASSOCIATES (C-21-014) FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK REPAIRS AND CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 21-169 "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND"

I. SUMMARY
On January 26, 2021, the City entered into a Public Works Agreement with Tafoya & Associates ("Agreement") for provision of services that would repair the underground storage tank at City Hall to get into compliance with mandates of the Los Angeles County Fire Department and other governing agencies (Exhibit No. 1).

Staff is now seeking City Council approval to amend the Agreement to extend the term for three (3) months with Tafoya & Associates to continue its services to complete the underground storage tank project and increase compensation by $9,573.00 for a total not-to-exceed contract sum of $49,324.00 (Exhibit No. 2). In addition, Public Works staff is requesting an additional $15,000 for contingency funds in case there are any unforeseen issues discovered during excavation and construction underground, bringing the total project budget to $64,324.00.
