On October 20, 2009, per City Council Resolution No. 2009-246, the City of National
City entered into an agreement with Ninyo & Moore to provide on -call geotechnical
materials testing services for various Capital Improvement Projects. The Agreement
was for a not -to -exceed amount of $150,000 and a term of one year, with the option to
extend.
On October 5, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-224, approving the
First Amendment to the Agreement extending the term of the Agreement through
October 8, 2011.
On October 4, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-224, approving the
Second Amendment to the Agreement increasing the not -to -exceed amount by
$150,000, for a total Agreement amount of $300,000, and extending the term of the
Agreement through October 10, 2012.
On October 2, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-195, approving the
Third Amendment to the Agreement extending the term of the Agreement through
October 11, 2013.
Ninyo & Moore is currently providing on -call geotechnical materials testing services for
various "active" CIP projects. 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, including geotechnical materials testing 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
Ninyo & Moore.
