Title
Third Extension to the Contract for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services for FY 2009 (B)
This item involves an extension to the Contract for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services with Terrence Brannan Land Surveyor, Inc.
Explanation
The contract dated June 2, 2006, First Extension dated December 12, 2006 and Second Extension dated December 14, 2007 with Terrence Brannan Land Surveyor, Inc. will expire on September 30, 2008. This vendor has responded to the City's requests for services promptly and their services have been reliable and accurate.

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 Third Extension to the contract with Terrence Brannan Land Surveyor, Inc. for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services, extending the term of the contract from October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009, subject to final appropriation of funds for FY2009.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission deny the recommendation for the Third Extension 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.
