CITY OF RIVERSIDE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEMORANDUM Honorable Mayor & Agency Members Date: June 5, 200] Item No.: 6 Subject: Request Authorization to Enter into an Extension to the Annual Professional Services Agreement with Darrell L. Connerton dba DLC Consulting and Construction Management to Provide Construction Management and Estimating Services on an As-Needed Basis for Fiscal Year 2001/02 Background Each fiscal year, the Agency is asked to approve various annual consultant contracts, including construction management consultants. Consultants are necessary to provide the professional opinions and reviews required by the Community Development Law. These services may also be needed during the development review and analysis stage to assist staff in structuring the development proposals. In all cases, the professional services are driven by the volume and complexity of development projects under consideration and are only utilized on an as- needed basis. DLC Consulting and Construction Management was selected to provide construction management and estimating services as a result of an Agency "Request for Proposals" solicitation conducted in May 1999 for fiscal year 1999/2000. The current agreement was approved by the Agency on July 13, 1999. Current Issue The current agreement allows the term to be extended for additional twelve-month periods by mutual consent of the parties. This extension would extend the term of the current agreement for a second additional twelve-month period for fiscal year 2001/02 (July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002). Analysis The Redevelopment Agency has contracted with DLC Consulting and Construction Management to provide construction management and estimating services for redevelopment projects since fiscal year 1994/95. In the current fiscal year, 2000/01, DLC Consulting and Construction Management has assisted the Agency with the Heritage Square Homes and Indiana Avenue Four-plexes projects. It is estimated that the annual need for fiscal year 2001/02 for these services will not exceed $40,000. The agreement authorizes the Executive Director, or his designee, to approve increases in total compensation by the change order process up to a cumulative 25 percent of the original contract amount. This authorization will avoid delays in projects if the amount of services needed exceeds the original estimate. Any increase exceeding 25 percent of the original contract amount must be made by a written supplemental agreement and approved by the Agency Board. Fiscal Impact Sufficient funds for this agreement of $40,000 are budgeted in Professional Services account number 2805000- 421000 for fiscal year 2001/02. Mternafives To not approve the extension to the agreement, causing delays in development projects.
