MONTEREY BOULEVARD, PIER AVENUE TO 19TH STREET,

CONSULTING ENGINEERING AGREEMENT - FIRST AMENDMENT, PROJECT NO. CIP 98-142

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the attached First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement between the City of Hermosa Beach and the DMR Team, Inc. to prepare plans, specifications and estimates to include Monterey Blvd., from 19th Street to Hermosa/Manhattan Avenue, for a fee of $17,545;
2. Authorize the City Clerk to attest and the Mayor to execute said amendment to the agreement, upon approval as to form by the City Attorney;
3. Appropriate $20,000 to CIP 98-142 from the 301 Capital Improvement Fund; and
4. Authorize the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to make adjustments to the scope of work as necessary within budget.

Background:

On August 11, 1998, City Council approved an agreement between the City and the DMR Team, Inc. for the preparation of detailed design plans, specifications, cost estimates and other construction documents for the resurfacing of Monterey Blvd. between Pier Avenue and 19th Street. Further, this work has been completed and approved by Council. The bids for this work came in under the engineer's estimate.

On January 12, 1999, Council awarded the construction contract for the work to Sully Miller Contracting Company. It is anticipated that construction will be underway by mid February. The construction management and contract administration will be handled by staff.

Analysis:

In keeping with Council's wishes to complete the remaining stretch of Monterey Blvd. staff has requested a price from the DMR Team, Inc. for the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for the resurfacing of Monterey Blvd. from 19th Street to Hermosa/Manhattan Avenue. The DMR Team, Inc. has submitted a proposal to perform the work for a fee of $17,545.

Under the terms of the existing agreement between the City and the DMR Team, Inc., the City has the option to order additional services without changing the agreement. However, this must be done by a written amendment approved by the City and consultant. Since the DMR Team, Inc. has performed satisfactorily and delivered a product under budget, staff is recommending the existing agreement be amended to include Monterey Blvd., from 19th Street to Hermosa/Manhattan Avenue.

Fiscal Impact:

An additional appropriation of $20,000 from the 301 Capital Improvement Fund will be required to cover the cost of the proposed design work. In the midyear budget review item on this agenda, $20,000 is being appropriated from the 301 Capital Improvement Fund. The construction work will be funded in the fiscal year 1999/2000 CIP budget.
