SUBJECT: Amendment to the Master Agreement with David J. Powers and Associates, Inc. for Environmental Consultant Services for Various City Projects
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the first amendment to the master agreement for consultant services with David J. Powers and Associates, Inc. (Contract No. 9048-C), to extend the term from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026, with no change to the maximum compensation.
BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION
On October 29, 2019, City Council approved the master agreement with David J. Powers and Associates, Inc., a consulting design firm, to provide professional environmental consultant services in the amount not to exceed $1,000,000 with a term end date of December 31, 2024. The master agreement was procured through a single request for qualifications process.
David J. Powers and Associates, Inc. is currently providing environmental engineering services for the Columbus Park Project (9091) and the Spartan Keyes Master Plan Review Project (10436). The Columbus Park Project (9091) is in the process of California Environmental Quality Act clearance and is expected to be completed in early 2026. Similarly, the Spartan Keyes Master Plan Review Project (10436) is also working towards California Environmental Quality Act and National Environmental Policy Act clearance, which is anticipated to be completed by winter 2026. Therefore, an extension of two years to the consultant contract is needed to maintain the continuity of consultant services for the completion of these two projects.
Currently, there is $585,791 remaining in the David J. Powers and Associates, Inc.’s master agreement. Staff does not foresee a need to increase the total compensation of the master agreement.
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND INPUT
No commission recommendation or input is needed for this action.
COST AND FUNDING SOURCE
There is no additional funding needed to approve the term extension.
