The agreement was amended on April 21, 2003, for an amount <br />not to exceed $132,500 with an updated rate schedule. Given the rate <br />schedule has not been updated since 2003, staff recommends amending the <br />current agreement as requested by DM &A to update the schedule. The <br />remaining balance on the contract of $53,047.50 will continue to be <br />utilized on an as needed basis. <br />The Agency originally approved a contract with Converse Consultants on <br />November 18, 2002, to perform environmental site assessment services for <br />the Santa Ana Auto Mall. On November 21, 2006, the Agency approved the <br />current contract with Converse Consultants for environmental services on <br />an as needed basis for various potential acquisitions. There is now a <br />need to increase the contract amount to conduct environmental site <br />assessments for other properties under evaluation for future <br />development. The Agency currently has a $75,000 consulting services <br />contract with Converse Consultants with a balance of $20,383. Converse <br />Consultants has provided highly professional services and staff <br />recommends amending the contract to an amount not to exceed $125,000. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Merged Redevelopment Account (account no. <br />570 - 933 -6291) and the Merged Housing Development Services (account no. <br />507 -508- 6291). <br />Nancy T.
