Approval of Reinstatement and First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with CEJ Engineers, Inc., to Provide Design Services for Safe Routes to School - Sidewalk Gap Closure - Delta Avenue from Mission Drive to Wells Street As part of the City’s Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the City Council approved the Safe Routes to School - Sidewalk Gap Closure - Delta Avenue from Mission Drive to Wells Street project (Project). On July 24, 2018, the City Council awarded a professional services agreement for design services to CEJ Engineers, Inc. In September 2018, prior Public Works staff directed CEJ Engineers, Inc. to place the design of the Project on hold, and the Project has been inactive since. The Project is now being restarted, and due to changes in existing field conditions during the Project’s inactivity, the Project requires additional relocation of existing fixed structures within the public right-of-way on Delta Avenue. Therefore, additional services from CEJ Engineers, Inc. are needed to complete the final design. The required services include additional field assessment to reconfirm existing conditions, design of relocated fixed structures within the public right-of-way, and public outreach with property owners for such relocations. Staff is requesting to reinstate and amend the professional services agreement with CEJ Engineers, Inc. to extend the contract term and approve compensation to perform the additional services.
Recommendation:
That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Authorize the City Manager to reinstate and execute First Amendment to the professional services agreement with CEJ Engineers, Inc. for the Safe Routes to School - Sidewalk Gap Closure - Delta Avenue from Mission Drive to Wells Street project to extend the contract term to December 31, 2023; and increase compensation by $12,940, to complete the final design.
