Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute Consulting Services Agreement
Amendment No. 2 with ENGEO, Incorporated
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the consultant has augmented Public Works staff with geotechnical engineering expertise
on an as-needed basis. They have been and will be used as an extension of County Public
Works staff during busy times when extra help is needed or when in-house expertise is
not available. On December 15, 2009, the consulting services agreement was approved
by the Board of Supervisors. On December 13, 2011, Amendment No. 1 was approved to
extend the consulting services agreement for an additional year to continue providing
geotechnical engineering consulting services to the County on on-call basis through
December 15, 2012.
Since Amendment No.1 was approved, two projects in the Iron Horse Corridor started to
move forward that require additional geotechnical expertise on an “on-call” basis.
Approval of this Consulting Services Agreement Amendment No.2 will allow the
consultant to continue providing geotechnical engineering consulting services to the
County for current and future contracts.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there will be possible delays in
completing projects requiring geotechnical engineering services. Executing this
amendment will facilitate the process of design and construction for various Public
Works projects requiring a geotechnical engineering expertise.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
