| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
On behalf of County Service Area (CSA) No. 2-Sugarloaf Water, approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an amendment, effective March 2, 2018, to the agreement with PACE Engineering, Inc., to increase compensation by $171,500, for a new total not to exceed $212,300, and extend the term from March 2, 2018 through May 31, 2021, to provide engineering and administrative services for the County Service Area No. 2-Sugarloaf Water Improvement Project. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
An amendment is proposed to an agreement with PACE Engineering, Inc. to drill a test well and design water system improvements. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
County Service Area (CSA) No. 2 – Sugarloaf Water provides potable water to 47 customers near Lakehead. The CSA draws water from a well and a surface diversion. On June 28, 2016, the Water Agency entered into an agreement with PACE Engineering, Inc. to provide engineering services to upgrade CSA facilities. Funding was to be sought from the United States Department of Agriculture. On January 24, 2017, the agreement was amended to pursue funding through the State Revolving Fund. A planning grant has since been obtained to drill a test well and design other improvements. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to approve the proposed amendment. The CSA’s infrastructure is precarious and funding is limited. Another consultant could be procured albeit at greater cost. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has approved the amendment as to form. Risk Management has reviewed and approved the amendment. The County Administrative Office has reviewed this recommendation. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The ultimate project may entail up to $2,400,000 in improvements. Adequate funds are included in the Adopted 2017/18 Water Agency budget for proposed consultant work. The Water Agency Admin fund will periodically be in a negative cash position pending reimbursement from the State of California. They will pay interest so there is no General Fund impact. |
