Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to CANCEL an existing contract &
EXECUTE a new contract with Entrix dba Cardno Entrix
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
airport projects.
Currently, the Public Works Department has an existing environmental assessment
on-call contract with Entrix, Inc., which expires on July 21, 2012.
After a solicitation process, this firm was selected, as one of five firms, to provide on-call
environmental services. The Contractor will assist Public Works Department
environmental staff with obtaining environmental clearances and provide on-call
environmental assessments, on an as needed basis. This on-call contract will be in effect
not to exceed three years.
Because the Public Works Department is entering into a new three year on-call contract
with the contractor, it is appropriate for the Public Works Department and the contractor
to mutually cancel the existing on-call environmental services contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, necessary on-call environmental
assessments may not be completed in a timely manner and necessary environmental
clearances may not be obtained, which may jeopardize funding and delay the design and
construction of various flood control, road, and airport projects.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
