Thompson,. Public lYorks Director ATTACHMENTS: 1) 2) 3) Resolution and Proposed Amendment Letter from Zumwalt Engineering Group Most Recent Amendment Dated July 3, 2001 RECOMMENDATION: ,.~ , ~// Adopt resolution approving amendment to agreement and authorize Mayor to execute amendment FINANCIAL STATEMENT: This amendment would add the position of Project Management Assistant to Zumwalt's rate schedule for 2001-02. The proposed rate for Project Coordinator is $65.00 per hour. This position would provide an estimated 1,580 hours of service during the 2001-02 fiscal year. The contractual "not to exceed" for Zumwalt's existing agreement is not proposed to be changed at this time. DESCRIPTION: The City has contracted with Zumwalt Engineering Group since 1997 for general engineering services. The scope of work has primarily been in the area of private development review, and, .to a lesser degree, Capital Project design. The rate schedule which was approved by the City Council for 2001-02 does not include a position with the title of Project Management Assistant. Staff is proposing to utilize such a position, primarily to coordinate recordkeeping, issuance of certain permits, and project closeouts for private development projects. The cost of services would be paid by the various developers. This contract position is expected to improve service from a time and efficiency standpoint, as the existing Staff workload has precluded accomplishment of some of these tasks in a timely manner. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the amendment to the agreement.
