Title
Second Extension to the Contracts for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services for FY 2008 (B)
This item involves an extension to the Contracts for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services with Terrence Brannan Land Surveyor, Inc. and George F. Young, Inc.
Explanation
The contract dated April 4, 2006 and First Extension dated December 19, 2006, with George F. Young, Inc., and the contract dated June 2, 2006 and First Extension dated December 12, 2006, with Terrence Brannan Land Surveyor, Inc. will expire on September 30, 2007. Both vendors have responded to the City's requests for services promptly and their services have been reliable and accurate.
The contracts allow for five one-year extensions. This is the second request for an extension to each contract.
Fiscal Note
Funding sources will be identified as needed from the Public Works Department fiscal year operating budget and the City's Capital Improvement Plan capital project accounts.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the Second Extensions to the contracts with George F. Young, Inc., and Terrence Brannan Land Surveyor, Inc. for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services, extending the term of the contract from October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008, subject to final appropriation of funds for FY2008.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission deny the recommendation for the Second Extensions and direct the City Manager to secure the services of individual firms on a project-by-project basis. This would result in project delays and additional administrative costs for both projects and routine tasks that require these services.
