___________________________________________________________________________ Recitals
A. The Town Manager and Town Departments are responsible for delivering the vision of Town Council and while the Town Manager and Town Departments have the necessary staffing and expertise to deliver day-to-day services there are occasions when the Town needs the support of specialized consultants to turn Town Council’s vision into reality.
B. The tool to enlist consultants to assist Town Manager and Town Departments is to hire specific specialists via on-call contracts whose expertise the Town is seeking which could range from architects to engineers to landscape architects to narrative designers and economists. The use of these outside consultants is not a reflection of the Town staff’s ability, rather it is the augmentation of resources to ensure delivery of the Town Council’s vision.
C. Each on-call contract contains a “scope of services” and rate sheet for that design consultant and the on-call contract itself does not obligate nor encumber the dollar amounts shown in each contract. With the on-call contract in place the Town Manager may enlist a specific consultant for a specific “scope of work” to be performed at an agreed upon dollar amount and executed via a task order.
D. This resolution will authorize the Town Manager to execute agreements for the following support design disciplines:
• Civil Engineering
• Landscape Architecture
• Urban Planning
• Mobility/Transportation Engineering
• Structural Engineering
• Narrative Design
• Geotechnical Engineering
E. Each consultant to whom an on-call contract will be awarded has demonstrated a desired level of experience, competence, staffing and other professional qualifications necessary for more than a satisfactory performance of the services required. Each on-call contract will be for a three-year term with general scopes of services for each consultant listed on Exhibit A of this resolution.
F. Adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3).
Now, therefore, the Town Council of the Town of Yountville does resolve as follows:
1. Authorizing the Town Manager to execute agreements for as-needed On-Call Professional Design and Consulting Design Services with selected consultants for a three-year period in various dollar amounts and with no obligation for the Town to award a task order and encumber funds within the term of the contract.
2. The summary list of consultants and their general scope of services is included in this resolution as Exhibit A.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Yountville, State of California, held on this 6th day of May 2025 by the following vote:
