FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Under this agreement, Berlogar Geotechnical Consultants provides

since 1997 for general geotechnical services. The services provided to date have been peer review for
private development projects and design and testing services for CIP projects.
Staff is proposing that the agreement be extended for a two-year period and to allow the consultant to
request an adjustment of rates for the second year of the term. Berlogar is not requesting any rate increase
for Fiscal Year 2001-2002. Under this agreement, Staff would typically obtain a not-to-exceed proposal
from Berlogar for each specific private development review or Capital Project. The cost of the work is
budgeted within individual CIP's or is paid by the developer.
The work provided to date by Berlogar Geotechnical has been satisfactory, professional, and competitive,
