Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the attached agreement between the City of Hermosa Beach and David Evans & Associates, Inc. for $50,000;
2. Authorize the City Clerk to attest and the Mayor to execute said agreement upon approval as to form by the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make changes to the contract amount not-to-exceed $5,000.

 

Background:

The 2000-01 Capital Improvement Project Budget has included several small projects that require landscaping design and hardscaping design as well as other aesthetic treatments in the public right-of-way. Listed below are samples of these small projects:

• 14 ^th Street Landscaped Planters
• 3 ^rd Street Park at Ocean View Avenue
• Greenbelt Access Ramp across from Hermosa School

The services of a Landscape Architectural/Civil Engineering design team is needed to supplement the design capacity of the Department of Public Works. In the interest of saving time and money, Staff is recommending that David Evans & Associates, Inc. (DEA) be retained to prepare the plans, specifications, cost estimates and other construction documents on an "as needed" basis.

Under the terms of this arrangement, the scope and cost of specific assignments of work would be established by individual project task order issued at the appropriate time against the contract amount of $50,000. See Attachment 1 for a sample Task Order.

On January 25, 2000 City Council approved an agreement between the City and DEA for the preparation of detailed design plans, specifications, cost estimates and other construction documents for the improvements to Valley Park. DEA was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals process for this work.

 

Fiscal Impact:

The Task Orders will be charged against the contract amount of $50,000 and to the specific CIP account.
