HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12022014 - C.120RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to amend a contract with Alcalde & Fay,
effective January 1, 2015, to extend the term from December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2015 and increase the
payment limit by $103,000 to a new payment limit of $308,392 for continued federal advocacy services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
County General Funds have been budgeted for these legislative advocacy services.
BACKGROUND:
Alcalde & Fay, minority-controlled/employee-owned firm, is the County’s current federal representative. Paul
Schlesinger, the County’s point person at Alcalde & Fay, has established the County’s presence in Washington, D.C.
and developed excellent relationships with staff of our congressional delegation. The result has been a very positive
“return on investment” for the County for its appropriation and authorization requests.
The contract terms specified in the RFP indicated a two-year contract with three one-year renewal options. Therefore,
this contract amendment would be the first one-year renewal option request.
