Resolution to Approve Amendment 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Orchard, Hiltz & McCliment, Inc. for Environmental Assessments Required for the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Award and the Congressionally Directed Spending Award ($120,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is an amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Orchard, Hiltz & McCliment, Inc. (OHM) to increase the number of sites being evaluated for potential electric vehicle charging.
Over the last several months, the Office of Sustainability and Innovations has been working with a variety of community stakeholders to evaluate their interest and readiness in having electric vehicle (EV) chargers. This work has led to the identification of 19 additional sites that could be strong candidates for EV charging through the City's successful Charging and Fueling Infrastructure award. These 19 sites are in addition to 31 sites that OHM is already conducting environmental assessments for. As such, this amendment seeks to increase the contract with OHM by $31,500 to provide additional funding to conduct at least 19 more environmental assessments and related support services through the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure program.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding to support the increased $31,500 will come from the Office of Sustainability and Innovations FY26 budget.
