RECOMMENDATION

Approval allowing the City Manager to execute a Fourth Amendment to the consultant agreement with Corlett, Skaer & DeVoto Architects, Inc. for architectural and construction administration services related to Phase 6 of the Acoustical Treatment (ACT) Program, extending the time for completion from June 30, 2003, to December 31, 2003, with no increase in total compensation.

BACKGROUND

On December 16, 1997, the City Council authorized execution of an agreement with Corlett, Skaer & DeVoto Architects, Inc., to provide consultant services related to Phase 6 of the ACT Program. On June 9, 1998, the City Council approved the First Amendment increasing the maximum compensation for consulting services to acoustically treat 50 additional homes. On November 14, 2000, the City Council approved the Second Amendment increasing the maximum compensation for consulting services to acoustically treat 83 additional homes and extending the term of the agreement. On August 28, 2001, the City Council approved the Third Amendment increasing the maximum compensation for consulting services to acoustically treat 27 additional homes and extending the term of the agreement.

ANALYSIS

Phase 6K of the ACT Program provides acoustical treatment to approximately 100 homes that either did not apply or withdrew from the original Category 1 program. Phase 6K is expected to be completed in mid-summer; however, additional time is needed to allow for construction administration, post-construction acoustical testing and project close-out on the remaining dwellings. No increase in total compensation payable under the agreement is required to complete Phase 6K.

PUBLIC OUTREACH

The schedule for construction and post construction activities is being coordinated with each property owner.

COORDINATION

Preparation of this amendment to the agreement for consultant services has been coordinated with the Office of the City Attorney and Planning Department. Requirements for insurance have been coordinated with the Risk Management office. The schedule has been coordinated with the the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

COST IMPLICATIONS

An increase in total compensation payable under the agreement is not required. Phase 6 is funded by a combination of Airport Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) revenue and Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants administered by the FAA. Consultant services are paid with the PFC revenue. The total cost of the Agreement is $6,055,349.

BUDGET REFERENCE

This contract was encumbered in FY 2001-02. No additional funding is necessary for this Continuation Agreement.
