HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06042013 - C.05RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 5, effective June
4, 2013, to an existing Consulting Services Agreement (CSA) with T.Y. Lin International (TYLin) to increase the
current payment limit by $76,915 to a new payment of $776,045 in order to provide design and environmental
services for the Orwood Road Bridge Replacement Project, Brentwood/Byron area. (Project No. 0662-6R4076)
FISCAL IMPACT:
CSA Amendment No. 5 allows for an additional $76,915 above the previously approved contract payment limit of
$699,130. The increase in payment is to be funded by 80% Federal Funds and 20% Road Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The existing Orwood Road Bridge was constructed in 1947. The bridge is constructed primarily of wood
components. As a result of its age and exposure to a marine environment, the bridge is coming to the end of its
serviceable life.
On May 5, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved CSA for design of the bridge replacement project with TYLin.

Subject:Amendment No. 5 to Consulting Services Agreement with T.Y. Lin International, Brentwood/Byron area.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
November 27, 2007, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the CSA to increase the payment limit by $78,650 for
additional bridge design services due to modifications to the bridge design. The modifications included adding an
8-foot wide pedestrian trail on the new bridge and modifying the approach roadway design to minimize the impacts to
adjacent property owners.
On June 23, 2009, the Board approved Amendment No. 2 to the CSA to increase the payment limit by $68,320 in
order to provide environmental consulting services.
On April 5, 2011, the Board approved Amendment No. 3 to the CSA to increase the payment limit by $125,289 in
order to provide additional environmental consulting services and project management services.
On December 6, 2011, the Board approved Amendment No. 4 to the CSA to increase the payment limit by $15,755
in order to provide additional design and environmental services.
Proposed Amendment No. 5 will amend payment limits in order to provide additional design and environmental
services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Public Works staff does not have the expertise to perform this work in-house. Negative action will result in the Public
Works Department having to hire other environmental and design consultants, which will delay project completion
and possibly jeopardize Federal funding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
