III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
In September 2000, the Flood Control District entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with Milton
Kubicek for engineering services on various projects. Since this time,Mr. Kubicek has provided a unique
service to the District under this agreement. His work has included conceptual planning and design of
drainage systems, preparation of drawings and engineering reports, providing historical knowledge and
background information to staff on District drainage issues,and attending meetings as necessary. Under the
direction of the flood control planning division head, Mr. Kubicek maintains core hours to facilitate
interaction with District staff and submits weekly reports documenting time spent and progress made. His
services have been particularly beneficial in coping with the staffing shortage in the Public Works
Department.
As a long time past employee of the County, Mr. Kubicek has excellent experience in the area of flood
control planning and design. In addition, he is intimately aware of our policies and procedures and
understands the goals and objectives of the Flood Control District. Mr. Kubicek's knowledge and
experience allows him to provide a service to the District that no other consultant could provide. In
addition, Mr. Kubicek meets the requirements of the County's Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program
and is certified through June 30, 2003.
A review of Mr. Kubicek's services over the past six months on his current contract indicates he has
provided excellent service to the District. He has independently prepared several drainage studies and
engineering reports,and has assisted staff on numerous assignments,helping the District meet its goals and
objectives. Mr. Kubicek is currently involved in several critical projects, and his continued work is
necessary to meet our deadlines. Based on Mr. Kubicek's excellent services provided to date, and his
current involvement on several key projects, the District strongly recommends executing this contract
amendment to secure his services through March 31, 2002.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If this Board Order is not approved,the current consulting services agreement will expire upon reaching the
payment limit and various projects will not be completed.
