Title
First Amendment to Agreement with EDSA, Inc. for Planning Services (B)
Explanation
This fall the GCRA contracted with EDSA, Inc. for Planning Services for the GCRA Reinvestment Plan to assist with the consolidation of four plans into one, managing the drafting of the plan itself and also assisting Team GCRA with the planning and execution of the community engagement around this task.
The amendment to the Agreement includes additional services as outlined by EDSA, Inc. in the December 20, 2019, “Additional Services Addendum.” The proposed services will increase the original consultant fee by $42,060 to include additional community engagement meetings, advisory board meetings, City Commission presentations, and increased time for plan refinements.
This will enhance public participation as well as provide for additional GCRA Advisory Board review and comment. The effort will result in further study to validate the proposed plan and to formulate an approach for implementation of initiatives and capital improvement projects for the next decade.
Fiscal Note
The total contract will be increased from $74,000 and will not exceed $116,060 and is budgeted for in unit numbers W737, W229, and W521.
Recommendation
City Manager to City Commission: 1) Approve the “First Amendment to Agreement for Services” as described, and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents after approved as to form and legality by the City Attorney’s Office.
