Subject:On-Call Consulting Services Agreement with ENGEO, Inc., Countywide. (100% Flood Control and Road Funds)
Project No.: Various
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
flood protection facility proposed for modification was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or the
U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, which means following their standards,
policies, and procedures. In executing modifications to the flood control system, the FC District, at times, requires
additional temporary services from persons specially trained, experienced, expert, and competent to perform
professional engineering services. For that reason, the FC District is entering into this Agreement with Consultant.
Under this Agreement, Consultant will provide professional engineering services relating to fluvial
geomorphology on an on-call basis for a variety of FC District projects, whether proposed by the FC District or
outside agencies, throughout Contra Costa County.
The Consulting Services Agreement limits the Consultant’s liability for damages arising out of its errors or
omissions in providing professional services under the CSA to $3,000,000, the amount stated in the Consultant’s
professional liability insurance policy provided. This is for professional liability and does not limit the
Consultant’s responsibility with regard to general liability claims.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the FC District will be unable to obtain on-call services for
professional engineering services relating to fluvial geomorphology.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
