SUBJECT: First Amendment to Agreement No. 14-668 with Dewberry | Drake Haglan
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute First Amendment to Agreement No. 14-668 with Dewberry | Drake Haglan, Inc., for engineering consultant services related to the Little Dry Creek Bridge Replacements on Millerton Road, Federal Project No. BRLO-5942(210), extending the maximum term by seven years to expire no later than October 28, 2028, and increasing the maximum by $236,875 to a total of $1,203,941.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended action is not approved, the agreement will expire by its terms on October 28, 2021, and a new Request for Proposal process would be required, thus further delaying the project and jeopardizing Federal funds.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action.

Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues for the project are included in the Department of Public Works and Planning - Roads Org 4510 FY 2021-22 Adopt...
