BOARD MEETING DATE:

February 25, 2003

 

TO:

Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:

Paul T. Scannell, Assistant County Manager

SUBJECT:

Amendment to the Agreement with Frank Battipede

 

Recommendation

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the President of the Board of Supervisors to amend the agreement with Frank Battipede to extend the term of the agreement through April 30, 2003.

 

Background/Discussion

For several years, Frank Battipede has been providing the County with project management and construction administration services for various capital projects, including Maguire Facility, North County Clinic, 555 Office Building, Board of Supervisors Chambers Remodel, and 3rd and 6th Floor Hall of Justice Renovations. Most recently the contractor has been assisting the County Manager's Office with the Crime Lab project. The agreement with Frank Battipede is set to expire on February 28, 2003.

The County Manager's Office is requesting that your Board extend Frank Battipede's agreement an additional sixty days to allow for the contractor to close out existing projects. This extension will take the agreement through April 30, 2003, which should be adequate time to complete project administration services.

 

Vision Alignment

The agreement with Frank Battipede keeps the Vision 2010 commitment of responsive, effective and collaborative government and goal #20: Government decisions are based on careful consideration of future impact, rather than temporary relief or immediate gain. The agreement contributes to this commitment and goal by providing capital projects oversight to ensure that County employees and residents have adequate and accessible facilities.

 

Fiscal Impact

There is no impact to the Net County Cost. The contractor's costs for the next 60 days will continue to be at the current hourly rate of $57.75. There are sufficient funds remaining in the agreement to cover these costs.
