BACKGROUND:
On November 21, 2017, following a competitive Request for Proposals process, this Board approved the Watry Design Inc. Agreement for the architectural and engineering services required for the Parking Structure 2 Project in the amount of $1,626,350 and 10 percent change order/amendment authority of the agreement value for a total not to exceed amount of $1,788,985.
DISCUSSION:
The new Parking Structure 2 project will be located at County Center. Through project evolution and consideration for campus enhancements, a public art installation is a part of this project. Funding for this public art enhancement is within the project budget. Through this resolution, the Project Development Unit (PDU) requests increasing authority to execute a change order by an additional $230,000.
The Resolution contains County standard provisions authorizing the PDU Director, or designee, to modify the agreement term, conditions, and scope of work, within the fiscal limits and authority established by this Board, as augmented by this resolution. Staff requests that the Board waive further request for proposals (RFP) process, on the basis that such waiver is in the best interest of the County.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this authority is included in the project budget for the new County Parking Structure. There is no impact to Net County Cost.
