Title
First Extension to the Contracts for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services for FY 2007 (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, with George F. Young, Inc., and the contract dated June 2, 2006, with Terrence Brannan Land Surveyor, Inc., will expire on September 30, 2006. Both vendors have responded to City requests for services promptly and their services have been reliable and accurate.
The contracts allow for five one-year extensions. This is the first request for an extension to each contract.
Fiscal Note
Funding in the amount of $50,000 is available in the City capital project budgets.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the First 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, 2006 to September 30, 2007, subject to final appropriation of funds for FY 2007.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission deny the recommendation for the First 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.
