Report Title: Contract Amendment with First Carbon Solutions
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with First Carbon Solutions, to extend the term from September 15, 2023 through September 14, 2025 with no change to the payment limit, to continue providing on-call environmental services, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the County's General Fund. Project costs are covered by project applicant fees.
BACKGROUND:
In September 2018, the Public Works Development (PWD) entered into a contract with First Carbon Solutions ("Contractor") in an amount not to exceed $274,974 for the period September 15, 2018, through September 15, 2023, to provide on-call environmental services (e.g., Environmental Impact Reports, development and peer review of technical analysis’). In March 2022, changes to the project scope required additional contract services which necessitated a budget augment of $18,223 for a total contract amount of $293,197. Land development projects utilizing these services are still underway and staff has determined it is necessary to extend this contract to allow the Contractor to continue providing services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the recommended action is not approved, First Carbon Solutions would not be able to continue to provide services, which may result in delayed delivery of environmental documents.
