Current Agreement and Amendment
RECOMMENDATION~
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Adopt the resolution approving the Amendment to the Agreement.
Under this Agreement, BSK Associates provides general materials
testing and geotechnical services to the City based on the proposed
rate schedule. The consultant typically submits a not-to-exceed
proposal for each specific project.
Per Section 2 of the Agreement, BSK Associates is allowed to
request a 3.1% rate increase for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 based on the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners for the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Area for February 2007.
DESCRIPTION: The City has contracted with BSK Associates since 1995 for
geotechnical engineering services. The services provided to date have primarily been in the area of soils
and materials testing for CIP projects, or geotechnical peer review for private development projects.
The most current Agreement was approved on July 5, 2005, and was for a two-year term, which expires
June 30, 2007. It is proposed to extend the term of the Agreement for an additional two years to June 30,
2009, and grant a rate increase as allowed by Section 2 of the Agreement. The rate schedule proposed by
BSK Associates reflects an increase of 3.1 %, which is consistent with the February 2007 CPI for Urban
Wage Earners for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area. Although allowed a rate adjustment in the second
year of the Agreement, the consultant did not request an increase in Fiscal Year 2006-2007.

Under this Agreement, BSK provides specific per-task estimates for each project and obtains written
authorization from the City before proceeding with the work. The cost of work related to CIP projects is
budgeted within each project, and the cost of work related to private developments is paid for by
developers.
The work performed to date by BSK Associates has been satisfactory, professional, and competitive, and
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the amendment to the Agreement.

services for each task order received from the City of Dublin based on our understanding of the project

unforeseen encountered site conditions, weather impact, workscope change and other factors beyond Oul"
control.

propose the following:.
