ATTACHMENT II
01135.0006 2042225.2 9/18/2025 1 of 7
AMENDMENT NO. 2
TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACTUAL SERVICES
THIS AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACTUAL SERVICES (“Amendment No. 2”) by and between the CITY OF BELL (“City”), a California charter city, and TRANSTECH ENGINEERS, INC., a California corporation (“Consultant”), is effective as of the 7th day of October, 2025.
RECITALS
A. City and Consultant entered into that certain Contract Services Agreement dated April 27, 2022 (“Agreement”) whereby Consultant agreed to provide the City contract building official, building inspector, and plan check related services (the “Services”).
B. The Contract Sum under the Agreement was $750,000.00.
C. The Term of the Agreement was from April 27, 2022 to April 27, 2025 with two (2) one-year extensions in the City’s sole and absolute discretion (per Section 3.4 Term).
D. City and Consultant entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, dated March 12, 2025 to use one of the two extensions and extend the term of the Agreement from April 27, 2025 to April 27, 2026.
E. The principal development services paid for hereunder are Building Official and Inspector Services (A B) and Plan Check services (C), and these Developer Fees are paid by Developer and then split with Consultant receiving 57% of the Developer Fees collected and the City receiving 43%. The purpose of the Cap is to set an expectation and control on services to be rendered and keep Council control by requiring Council amendments to increase services.
Subjecting Developer Fee split services to this Cap does not serve this purpose. Accordingly, it is the intent of this Amendment to show Developer Fees collected and paid to Consultant, but exempt them from the Cap ; and then control other Miscellaneous Fees for services hereunder and make them subject to the Cap. The effect of this is that the Cap can be reduced from $750,000 to $200,000, and moreover the City's 43% share of the Developer Fees will pay for all other Consultant costs hereunder.
F. By this Amendment No 2 , the portion of Developer Fees being split with the Consultant will continue at 57% to Consultant and 43% to City; the portion of the Developer Fees collected by Consultant will not be subject to the Cap, is estimated to be $1,580,000 to date; the Cap for all other services paid is set at $ 200,000, and the funds to pay this will come from the City's share of the Developer Fees collected, rather than from the General Fund.
G. Except as amended hereby, this amendment is subject to the same terms and conditions as provided in the Agreement.
