To: Board of Supervisors
From: Warren Lai, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer
Report Title: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Theis Engineering & Associates, Countywide.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Theis Engineering & Associates, in the amount not to exceed $350,000 to provide on-call land development services for the period April 9, 2024 to April 8, 2027, Countywide. (All Districts)
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Developer Fees and/or Special Revenue Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department is involved in the review of land development projects throughout the County. As part of this regular work, consultant services are required to augment staff and provide special technical assistance on an on-call basis. After a solicitation process, Theis Engineering & Associates was one of four firms selected to provide land development engineering services. These services include researching, writing, reviewing, and preparing conditions of approval for land development entitlements, as well as plan checking for conditions of approval compliance, reviewing lighting and landscaping developments, oversight of County annexations related to development projects, and reviewing survey related documents.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the Public Works Department will be unable to complete land development engineering projects in a timely manner; therefore, delaying completion of current and future land development projects.
