Report Title: Amendment to Consulting Services Agreement with The KPA Group
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to execute Amendment 4 to the Consulting Services Agreement between the County and the KPA Group dated March 12, 2019, for the Buchanan Field terminal project, to extend the contract to June 30, 2024, and increase the payment limit by $13,020, from $1,324,640 to a new limit of $1,337,660.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The increase in the contract amount will be paid through the Airport Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The KPA Group (KPA) was hired in 2019 to perform architectural and engineering construction administration support services for the construction of the Buchanan Field Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)/Administration/Terminal Building. Because the project completion date has been extended, KPA is needed to continue their technical support until the project is complete. While construction of the building should be complete by mid-late March 2024, the contract will be extended from March 11, 2024, to June 30, 2024, so that the KPA Group will be able to participate in the project close-out phase. The cost of the additional services necessitates an increase in the contract limit by $13,020, from $1,324,640 to a new limit of $1,337,660.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the increase in the payment limit is not approved, the KPA Group will not be able to perform the ongoing construction administration services needed to successfully complete the project.
