CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: August 18, 2025
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ___-25 AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CONSOR
(FORMALLY PARK ENGINEERING, INC.), TO PROVIDE ON-CALL
CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION SERVICES
SYNOPSIS
The City Council is requested to authorize the City Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Consor (formally Park Engineering, Inc.) to perform on-call construction inspection services. These services include general inquiries received by the Engineering Division, encroachment permits, utility projects, and Capital Improvement Projects as identified in the FY 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
DISCUSSION
Background
The City executed a Professional Services Agreement with Consor (“Consultant”) for on-call construction inspection services on December 11, 2023 in the amount of $75,000, due to the retirement of the City Construction Inspector. The City hired a full time Construction Inspector in May 2024. On April 15, 2024, the City Council amended the original agreement with a First Amendment to increase the Agreement amount by an additional $75,000. However, due to large utility projects currently taking place within the City limits by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) and Central Contra Costa County Sanitary District (CentralSan), additional assistance remains for inspection services. Consor will provide inspection services until the completion of these projects, at which time the inspection workload will be reviewed.
Analysis
Consor has satisfactorily performed the assigned tasks outlined in the original Scope of Services and has provided inspectors with experience managing roadway, bridge, building, water and sewer lines, flood control, landscape, utility, traffic signal, street lighting, and other public works construction projects for local, regional, and state agencies. The Consultant inspectors have proven to have extensive knowledge and the required experience to conduct inspections of any type.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement increases the compensation by $150,000 to a total, not to exceed, amount of $300,000. In an effort to minimize the impact on the General Fund, those inspections related to utility projects within the City, such as East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) projects, will be billed directly to the utility companies, whereas those inspections related to Capital Improvement Projects will be charged directly to the capital project budget.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public Contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Consor, to provide on-call construction inspection services.
ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
