RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with U.S.A Trucking, Inc., to extend the term through August 14, 2025, for on-call trucking services to support road and flood control maintenance repairs, with no change in the payment limit, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact, as this amendment is only to extend the term.
BACKGROUND:
On August 15, 2023, the County awarded one on-call contract for trucking services for various road and flood control maintenance work, to supplement Public Works Maintenance crews during routine and emergency work, and to perform work that may be time-sensitive and may require specialized equipment and skills. The contract has a term of one year, with the option of two (2) one-year extensions.
To regain the services of and to enable timely payment to U.S.A. Trucking, Inc., the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Contract Amendment No. 1. This amendment will extend the term of the contract through August 14, 2025, with no change to the maximum payment limit.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the contract amendment may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine road and flood control maintenance work in a timely manner.
