MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Spencer Schroen, Associate Civil Engineer
Date: 06/09/2026
Subject: J D E Engineering, Inc. Amendment No. 1
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with J D E Engineering, Inc. to provide construction management and inspection services for various projects in a not to exceed amount of $20,000 (funding source: varies by construction project).
BACKGROUND:
At the September 9, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with J D E Engineering, Inc. to provide construction management and inspection services for various projects in a not-to-exceed amount of $30,000.
Since execution of the agreement, $27,675 has been billed, leaving a remaining balance of $2,325.
DISCUSSION:
Due to the continued construction workload associated with Capital Improvement and Private Development projects, there remains an ongoing need for professional assistance with construction management and inspection services. Because City staff resources are limited, supplementing staff with qualified consultants helps ensure projects proceed efficiently, safely, and in compliance with approved plans and specifications.
The consultant shall:
Provide on‐call inspection services for public and private site and roadway work Review contractor schedules and related construction activities Assist with the review of Requests for Information, material submittals, and payment applications
Review change orders
Perform other construction management and inspection tasks as requested by Engineering staff
The proposed amendment would continue retaining J D E Engineering, Inc. on an as-needed basis to provide qualified on-call construction management and inspection services in support of City staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
The attached Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with J D E Engineering, Inc. includes a detailed scope of services in Exhibit A, for a total not-to exceed amount of $20,000, increasing the total contract amount to $50,000. Expenses incurred under this agreement will be charged to the appropriate funding source for the project these services are provided.
