RESOLUTION NO. ___-2026
RESOLUTION OF THE FORT BRAGG CITY COUNCIL APPROVING FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH LUMOS & ASSOCIATES FOR THE 30 PERCENT DESIGN OF THE LPP CANDIDATE SURFACE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT AMENDMENT (AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $180,050.00)
WHEREAS, on February 23, 2026, the City Council received the staff report titled Street Rehabilitation Funding, Strategies, Location, and Scope and directed staff to proceed with the Oak Street storm drain and utility condition assessment and to expand the scope to include 30% design for the LPP Candidate Surface Improvement Projects to support development of a competitive LPP grant application; and WHEREAS, on March 23, 2026, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Lumos & Associates for “30% Design LPP Candidate Projects – Surface Improvement Projects” in an amount not to exceed $117,000; and WHEREAS, prior to the March 23 action, Lumos & Associates had also submitted a Proposal (dated January 21, 2026) for the Oak Street Utilities Assessment, including storm drain CCTV, potholing, condition analysis, and optional sewer assessment tasks, with a base cost of $82,050 and a potential reduction of $19,000 if City crews perform potholing; and WHEREAS, staff inadvertently understood the March 13, 2026 proposal to be a fully consolidated scope that included both the utility assessment work and the 30% design work, and therefore did not attach the January 21, 2026 utility assessment scope to the March 23, 2026 contract; and WHEREAS, the omission resulted in an incomplete scope of work in the executed Professional Services Agreement, and the addition of the utility assessment scope exceeds the City Manager’s change order authority under Fort Bragg Municipal Code Section 3.20.060; and WHEREAS, the combined scope of services—Oak Street Utilities Assessment (base scope) and 30% Design for the LPP Candidate Surface Improvement Projects—results in a revised total not‑to‑exceed contract amount of $180,050.00; and WHEREAS, the proposed work is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c), as it consists of evaluation and design only related to existing streets and maintenance, repair, or minor alterations of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former uses; and WHEREAS, sufficient funds are available in the FY 2025/2026 budget for pavement rehabilitation planning and utility assessment activities; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein as findings and determinations.
The City Council of Fort Bragg does hereby approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Lumos & Associates to incorporate the Oak Street Utilities Assessment scope (Proposal LA26.038) into the contract and increase the not‑to‑exceed amount to $180,050.00.
The City Council authorizes the City Manager to execute the First Amendment and any related documents necessary to carry out the intent of this Resolution.
