RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution authorizing an amendment to the agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. for the provision of plan review services, extending the term through September 30, 2019, and increasing the amount by $125,000, to an amount not to exceed $751,000.
body
BACKGROUND:
In 2015, the Planning and Building Department entered into a contract with CSG Consultants (“CSG”) for the provision of plan check services, with an original term of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, and total contract amount of $90,000. The Department selected CSG after issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) in June 2015. Since the initial contract execution, the Department has amended the contract six times for a total contract limit of $626,000 and term extending through June 30, 2019.
DISCUSSION:
The Department recently issued a request for Proposals (RFP) for plan check services and is now in the process of reviewing the proposals received and selecting a vendor. In the interim, the Department is seeking authorization to extend the CSG contract through September 30, 2019, to allow time to negotiate and transition to a new contract. This amendment will allow the Department uninterrupted provision of plan check review services while a new contract is negotiated.
The CSG contract supports the County Shared Vision 2025 goal of livable community by facilitating the processing of building permits in a timely manner for applicants.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing amendments of the County’s maximum fiscal obligation by no more than $25,000 (in aggregate).
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the amendment and resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
With the additional $125,000, the maximum fiscal obligation of this Agreement will be $751,000, which is funded by permit revenue. Sufficient appropriations have been included in the FY 2019-20 Adopted Budget. There is no Net County Cost associated with this amendment.
