This agreement is being brought before the Board of Supervisors because the insurance requirements have been modified. Given the type and scope of work,the consultant is not required to provide the amount of insurance typically included in larger contracts. The standard insurance requirements for the typical agreement would make this work infeasible. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Consulting Services Agreement is not approved,it will delay critical data collection and development projects.
