This staff
report recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate
and execute a modification to professional services contract #7949 (CCS) with
Cotton/Bridges/Associates for $32,480, resulting in a new total amount not to
exceed $136,000. This contractor is
reviewing existing conditions and current land use regulations affecting
automobile dealerships and will conduct a public process involving businesses
and community and neighborhood organizations.
Their work will assist the City in preparing zoning code modifications
for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.
BACKGROUND
On June 12, 2001, the City Council authorized a contract with Cotton/Bridges/Associates in an amount not to exceed $103,520. The scope of work has since been refined to incorporate a more comprehensive community outreach program, changes to consultants’ original fee schedules to include CPI increases, and the addition of a 15% contingency budget ($17,810) to cover additional analysis that may be required due to issues the community or council may raise during the study.
No additional appropriation is required with this recommendation as funds are currently available in account number 01266.555060 to cover the cost of this modification.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a modification to contract #7949 (CCS) with Cotton/Bridges/Associates for $32,480, for a total amount not to exceed $136,000.
