Sixth Amendment to Consulting Services Agreement
Nov. 5, 1996
Page Two
III. Reasons for Recommendation and Background:
Subsurface Consultants Inc. has been providing miscellaneous soils investigations for
various County projects in accordance with their agreement. The previous amendment
authorized Subsurface Consultants Inc. to prepare a feasibility study regarding the
geotechnical aspects for a flood control basin on the Pleasant Hill High School site. This
sixth amendment will preform additional geotechnical testing and modeling for proposed
basin site.
The Flood Control.& Water Conservation District has made a good faith effort to hire a
MBEIWBE consultant to perform the initial feasibility study, and has requested Subsurface
Consultants Inc. to preform follow-up work to the report. The department originally
interviewed three consultants, two of which are WBE's, and has selected Subsurface
Consultants Inc., to prepare the previous report. The current proposal and report to be
prepared by Subsurface Consultants Inc. will exceed criteria set by the County for
MBE/WBE participation in professional service contracts.
It will be necessary to increase the payment limit by $85,000 to cover the remaining work.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Negative action would require the Public Works Department to hire a new consultant at
additional cost which would also delay the project.
