From: Brian M. Balbas, Public Works Director
Report Title: Amendment to Consulting Services Agreement with Consor PMCM, Inc., Countywide.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement (contract) amendment with Consor PMCM, Inc., effective September 12, 2023, to confirm and consent to Consor PMCM, Inc. becoming the party to the contract, with no change to the original payment limit of $350,000 and the term September 21, 2021 through September 30, 2024, for on-call construction management consulting services, Countywide. (Project No. Various) (All Districts)
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as there is no increase to the overall contract payment limit. Work performed under this contract will be funded by local, state, and federal funds for road and flood control projects.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County that require construction management services for road, flood control and airport projects. After a solicitation process, CPM Associates, Inc. (CPM) was selected as one of seven firms to provide construction management services on an “on-call” basis. CPM has augmented Public Works staff and provided construction management services when in-house expertise is not available on an as-needed basis. Consultants under on-call consulting services agreements have been used as an extension of Public Works staff during busy times when extra help is needed or when in-house expertise is not available.
CPM and the County, for its Public Works Department, have entered into an active consulting services agreement, dated September 21, 2021, to provide the services described above. The term of this agreement expires September 30, 2024.
On or about September 29, 2022, in a filing with the California Secretary of State, CPM reported that its Board of Directors had approved an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation and that the name of the corporation was being changed from CPM Associates, Inc. to Consor PMCM, Inc. effective October 3, 2022.
This amendment changes the party to the contract, dated September 21, 2021, from CPM Associates, Inc. to Consor PMCM, Inc., which is necessary for the continuation of on-call construction management services.
Government Code Section 31000 and 4245 authorizes the County to contract for services, including the type of construction management services that Consor PMCM, Inc. provides.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval from the Board of Supervisors this contract will no longer be in effect causing a possible delay in completing various Public Works projects requiring construction management services.
