SUBJECT: Second Amendment to Master Consultant Agreement with Woodard & Curran for Engineering Analysis, Design, Construction Management, and Environmental Consulting Services for Various Storm and Sanitary Sewer System Improvement Projects
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the second amendment to the master consultant agreement with Woodard & Curran to extend the term of the agreement from January 31, 2025 to January 31, 2028, with no change to the maximum compensation.
BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION
On March 3, 2017, the City Council approved the master consultant agreement with RMC Water and Environment, to provide professional civil and environmental engineering consulting services in the amount not to exceed $1,000,000 with a term end date of January 31, 2022. On April 9, 2018, the City consented to the assignment to Woodard & Curran of all rights, titles, interests, and obligations of RMC Water and Environment under the City’s master consultant agreement, and an consent to assignment agreement was executed by the City, RMC Water and Environment, and Woodard & Curran. On February 1, 2022, the City Council approved the first amendment to the master consultant agreement to extend the term of the agreement from January 31, 2022 to January 31, 2025, with no increase to the maximum compensation.
The services provided per the agreement include engineering analysis, design, construction management, and environmental consulting for various storm and sanitary sewer system improvement projects. To date, Woodward & Curran has provided various consulting and engineering services, including the completion of the alternative analysis of storm drain system improvements near Downtown San José, California Environmental Quality Act analysis for the River Oaks Regional Stormwater Capture Project, and the River Oaks Regional Stormwater Capture Recycled Water Study.
Currently Woodard & Curran is providing support services on the River Oaks Regional Stormwater Capture Project which is expected to be completed in early 2025 and beyond the current term date.
Therefore, an extension to the contract is needed to maintain the continuity of consultant services for the completion of the project and water study.
Currently, there is $549,338 remaining in the Woodard & Curran’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 associated with this action.
