ANALYSIS
Various County Departments have utilized these consultants and have been satisfied with services rendered thus far and requested to execute the First Extension and Amendment to the agreement, for an additional two-year period.
The amendment seeks to includeTermination for Breach language, as required in a 2025 change to statute. Additionally, two consultants, Carter Associates and OCI Associates have requested name changes due to business mergers. Four of the twenty-six firms have agreed to renew with changes in rates. Finally, CHA Consulting and V&A Consulting Engineers have been non-responsive to multiple attempts at contact and Staff would like these agreements to sunset.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding for work orders under the agreements will vary, based on project and department. Individual work orders over $200,000 will be brought before the Board for review and approval. Per Section 105.01, Indian River County Code, the County Administrator may approve work orders for Continuing Consulting Services up to $200,000. A quarterly list of work orders approved by the Administrator will be presented to the Board as an informational item.
