RECOMMENDATION

Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an amendment to the agreement, effective date of signing with Dokken Engineering to provide the Public Works Director or his/her designee the authority to approve amendments up to $48,000 (10% of original total compensation), for a new total not to exceed $530,000, to provide engineering and geotechnical services for the 2017 Storm Damage Projects, and retain the original term from date of signing through December 31, 2021.

SUMMARY

Additional geotechnical services are proposed for 2017 Storm Damage Projects.

DISCUSSION

In 2017, severe storms damaged numerous County facilities. On November 14, 2017, the County entered into an agreement with Dokken Engineering for engineering and geotechnical services at a list of sites. It has since been determined that the Whiskey Creek Culvert site needs to be added to the list at an estimated cost of $23,000. Flexibility is proposed to amend the agreement in an amount not to exceed $48,000 (10% of the original total compensation) for a new amount not to exceed $530,000.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may decline to proceed with the amendment. Geotechnical services will be required for the Whiskey Creek Culvert.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

County Counsel has approved the amendment as to form.  Risk Management has reviewed and approved the amendment.  The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

FINANCING

FEMA/OES funding will cover 94% of eligible costs.  Adequate funds are included in the Adopted FY 2017/18 Road Fund budget. There is no General Fund impact.
