Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to enter into a second amendment to the professional services agreement (city contract no. 23384-01) with BARR Engineering Company substantially in the form of that attached hereto as Exhibit A, increasing the contract amount by $15,000 for a total amount not to exceed $115,000 payable from Fund 255-020-5319, and extending the term of the Agreement through December 31, 2019.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution will authorize a second amendment to the professional services agreement with BARR Engineering Company to increase the “not to exceed” amount by $15,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $115,000. BARR is one of three environmental firms procured by the City to provide environmental services such as Phase I and Phase II reports required for redevelopment projects of the City, DEDA and the private sector. BARR’s services are funded by the City’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2014 Assessment Grant. Due to two uncommon project assignments in the first part of 2018, subsequent project work is expected to surpass the amended $100,000 not to exceed amount, thus that amount needs to be increased. Additionally, the Agreement expired on December 31, 2018; the Amendment authorizes the extension of the Agreement through the end of 2019. Lastly, the City’s 2014 EPA Assessment Grant funding will terminate April 1, 2019 if not deployed. The Amendment enables the City to use these EPA funds to contract Barr Engineering before they expire.
