☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Alta Fencing Co. and Crusader Fence Company LLC, to extend the term through August 5, 2027 for each contract to continue providing additional fencing services, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On August 6, 2024, the County awarded two (2) on-call fencing contracts for various road, flood control, and facilities maintenance road work to supplement Public Works road maintenance and Facilities maintenance crews during routine and emergency work, and to perform time sensitive work requiring specialized equipment and skills. A $400,000 contract was awarded to each of the following contractors: Alta Fencing Co. (Alta) and Crusader Fence Company LLC (Crusader). The contracts have a term of one year, with the option of two one-year extensions.
On April 28, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment No. 1 for Alta and Crusader, extending the contract terms from August 5, 2025 through August 5, 2026 and increasing the payment limit from $400,000 to $1,400,000.
To retain the services of, and to ensure timely payment to Alta and Crusader, the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Contract Amendment No. 2. This amendment will extend the term of the contracts with Alta and Crusader through August 5, 2027, with no change to the payment limit.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the contract amendment will prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine and emergency road, flood control, and facilities maintenance work in a timely manner.
