Implementing Resolution <br /> ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> ~ CONTINUED TO <br /> ~,..~'--"S ~~C~c-. FILE NUMBER <br /> CI MANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a third amendment to the <br /> consultant agreement with PDS Technical Services for temporary engineering and technical <br /> support services, increasing the agreement amount by $112,500 for a total agreement not to <br /> exceed $562,500 subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City <br /> Attorney. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> In October 2009, the City Council approved an amendment to the agreement with PDS <br /> Technical Services for temporary engineering services. These temporary services will augment <br /> services provided by City staff and are required to complete the design of the City's Capital <br /> Improvement projects due to funding deadlines. <br /> PDS has been providing contract temporary staffing for several positions in the Public Works <br /> Agency due to the inability to fill vacant positions caused by the hiring freeze. Work performed <br /> by the temporary staff includes assistant engineering and grant oversight for several projects <br /> with critical delivery schedules, including the Residential Street Repair Program and the various <br /> Bristol Street Corridor projects. The current contract will be exhausted by the end of June 2010. <br /> Staff recommends approval of an additional $112,500 to allow services to be provided for an <br /> additional six months, or through December 2010. This will enable the City to complete projects <br /> funded in the Capital Improvement Program. Staff will prepare a Request for Proposal to solicit <br /> for a new temporary engineering services contract to commence at the completion of the <br /> existing contract. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br /> There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br /> 25F-1 <br /> <br />
