DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with Jones Edmonds & Associates, Inc. (JEA) to provide professional consulting services related to the development of master plans, technical studies, and implementation of recommendations for the Baseline Landfill.
The proposed First Amendment extends the contract term by two (2) years, with one (1) additional one-year renewal option. It also incorporates the original scope of services outlined in the solicitation, which was inadvertently omitted from the executed contract. In addition, the amendment establishes a task order framework, allowing the County to authorize services on an as-needed basis. Pricing for each task order will be negotiated at the time of project initiation, based on the defined scope of work, prevailing market conditions, established hourly rates, and mutual agreement between the County and JEA. If approved, this First Amendment will be effective immediately and extend the contract term through May 31, 2027.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None; extending the term of the contract and incorporating the scope of services carries no budget impact. Task orders will be negotiated individually as projects are assigned. Any task order exceeding $50,000 will be presented to the Board for review and approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve the First Contract Amendment, allow staff to issue contract, and upon approval by Legal, authorize the Chairman to execute contract with Jones Edmonds & Associates, Inc. under 23Q-096.
