Title
Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Tetra Tech Inc., for Geotechnical and Environmental Services (Additional $100,000.00 for a Contract Total of $200,000.00)
Memorandum
This resolution requests approval of Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement for Geotechnical and Environmental Services with Tetra Tech Inc. (Tetra Tech). The City Council approved a professional services agreement for $100,000.00 with Tetra Tech on May 2, 2023, as part of Resolution No. R-23-125.
The geotechnical and environmental testing for the Chapin & Third Reconstruction Project and the adjacent Park View Place Utility Extension Project are more extensive than a typical project due to high groundwater and contamination concerns. With Tetra Tech already being involved and its extensive knowledge of the potential contamination in the area, staff recommends extending the existing contract with Tetra Tech to continue to perform these testing services through the completion of the project. Tetra Tech has done similar work for the City in the past, and staff is comfortable with their knowledge and expertise.
Tetra Tech complies with the City’s Non-Discrimination and Living Wage ordinances.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: The costs for the project are included in the Capital Improvement Plan budget for the Chapin & Third Reconstruction Project (TR-SB-24-06, UT-ST-24-01, and UT-WS-24-02) and the Park View Place Utility Extension Project (UT-SN-22-10, UT-WS-22-13).
