Report Title: Participating Addendum for Kahua, Inc.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a participating addendum with Kahua, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,350,000, for the purchase of capital project management software and services for use by the Public Works Department, during the period of September 9, 2025 through May 22, 2029 under the terms of the Master Contract awarded by CA Department of General Services, and the State of California.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Product and service costs will be funded by the General Fund. Future costs will be funded through the Public Works Department’s charge out rates for capital project delivery services.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Purchasing Services is requesting approval of a Participating Addendum for the purchase of capital project management software and services offered through Kahua, Inc. Products are guaranteed through the master contract awarded by CA Department of General Services, and the State of California Contract No. 3-22-01-1027. Approval of the addendum between Contra Costa County and Kahua, Inc., allows the County to obtain guaranteed pricing available through the CA Department of General Services, and the State of California contract No. 3-22-01-1027. The purchase will support the Public Works Department with the purchase of capital project management goods and services to improve capital project service delivery. The purchase provides significant discounts from list pricing.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of this agreement, the Public Works Department would be paying full price on capital project management software and services purchased today.
