THE CITY OF 5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT pLEASANTON. March 19, 2019 Community Development Planning Division TITLE: APPROVAL OF SECOND AMENDMENT TO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DYETT AND BHATIA FOR $81,840, FOR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, CEQA REVIEW AND OTHER SERVICES RELATED TO PREPARATION OF THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE, FOR A NEW TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $615,106 INCLUDING A 10 PERCENT CONTINGENCY SUMMARY In November 2016 the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Dyett and Bhatia to prepare an update to the 2002 Downtown Specific Plan (DSP Update). The budget was for a total of $275,000 which included a contingency of $36,000. In January 2018, the City Council authorized the first amendment to the contract, for an additional $258,266 for a new contract total of $533,266. This additional amount principally addressed costs to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project, the costs of which were not included in the original contract since the scope of CEQA review was unknown at that time. With preparation of the draft DSP and EIR, staff has identified the need for additional consultant work to support the update effort, including additional technical analysis for the EIR, and graphic and text revisions in the Plan itself. A second amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, in the amount of $81,840, which includes a 10 percent contingency, is requested to address these additional services. RECOMMENDATION 1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the second amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Dyett and Bhatia to add $81,840 to the original amount (as amended in January 2018) of $533,266 (for a total of $615,106) for services related to the preparation of the Downtown Specific Plan Update. The additional amount includes a contingency of $7,440, or 10 percent of the additional contract amount. 2. Allocate $81 ,840 from the General Fund to Advance Planning Professional Services (00130301-430101) to complete funding for the Dyett & Bhatia contract amendment.
