The Agreement was for a not -to -exceed amount of $100,000 and a term of two years, with the option to extend. On July 5, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-139, approving the First Amendment to the Agreement increasing the not -to -exceed amount by $100,000. On January 24, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-21, approving the Second Amendment to the Agreement increasing the not -to -exceed amount by $200,000. On September 4, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-186, approving the Third Amendment to the Agreement increasing the not -to -exceed amount by $300,000 and extending the term of the Agreement through October 6, 2013. Harris & Associates is currently performing civil engineering and construction support services for the following "active" C1P projects: • 8th Street Smart Growth Revitalization (Trolley Station to Highland Ave) • Highland Avenue Community Corridor Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements In order to keep these projects on schedule to meet various funding expenditure requirements and commitments to the residents of National City, staff is requesting a Fourth Amendment to the Agreement to extend the term of the Agreement through April 5, 2014. If approved, said Fourth Amendment would be effective as of October 4, 2013. National City's 5-Year CIP is estimated to deliver over $53 million in capital projects for residents of National City. In order to successfully deliver these projects, staff will be administering a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various engineering and construction support services. This process is estimated to take approximately four months. In the interim, staff will need to rely on existing "On -call" service contracts for assistance with project delivery. Therefore, staff recommends execution of a Fourth Amendment to the Agreement with Harris & Associates.
