Specific Request (s ) or Recommendation (s ) b Background &
Justification
I . RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE the first amendment to the consulting agreement with
DeLeuw , Cather & Company for engineering services for the Nichols
Road Bridge Replacement Design and AUTHORIZE the Public Works
Director to execute the Amendment .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
This Amendment will increase the Agreement Payment Limit from

be exceeded without written approval by the Public Works
Director . It is to be funded by General Chemical Corporation ,
Chevron U . S . A . , Inc . and Allied Signal Corporation ( 20X ) and
Federal funds (80%) .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
A . On July 21 , 1987 , the Board approved a Consulting
Agreement with Deleuw., Cather and Company for engineering
services for the Nichols Road Bridge Replacement Design project .
B . The California Department of Transportation conducted a
pre award evaluation of the Consulting Agreement and has directed
that certain elements of the agreement be amended to comply with
governmental auditing standards . The amendment establishes a
cost- plus - a- fixed- fee method of payment , adjusts certain cost
elements in the Consultants cost price proposal and results in a
small increase in the overall contract value .
VI . CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The Consultant has not been issued a notice to: proceed and cannot
begin work under the agreement until the amendment is approved
and executed . If engineering services are not provided by
consultant , the completion of final construction plans will be
delayed and the County could lose Federal - Aid Funds for bot
design and construction of this project .
