APPROVING ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTING 260-9602(F)/A.1.1
SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR SEISMIC STUDY OF July 9, 1996
THREE ORINDA FIRE STATIONS
B. On March 25, 1996, the County Architectural Selection Committee, including two Commissioners
from the Orinda Fire Protection District, interviewed architects for this project and ranked Dewell
+ Associates first. The firm submitted a list of subconsultants to meet the County's Minority and
Women Business Enterprise Contract Compliance Program.
C. Negotiations have been completed and an appropriate agreement is ready to sign. This agreement
for initial services includes a seismic hazard evaluation to establish the scope and budget for necessary
and recommended seismic improvements as well as repairs and improvements in building systems
made necessary by the seismic structural system improvements at each site.
D. The County must proceed with this agreement for architectural services because it does not have
sufficient staff to provide the services.
