On March 1, 2016, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Kimley–Horn and Associates, Inc. for $59,981.00 to prepare the environmental assessment for the Hines/Brea Place application.  The scope of work and deliverables were completed on time and on schedule.  However, given the project’s complexity and changes to the plan in response to input from the Community, staff and the Commission, an amendment to the original PSA is necessary.  

 

The Amendment includes additional services for the evaluation and review of revised plans, meeting attendance and representation above the initial amount agreed upon and additional technical report review and evaluation. The project exceeded the initial scope of work.  It is important to note the additional work is as a result of the changes to the project and not a lack of understanding or lack of proper scoping by the consultant.  The work requested in the Amendment is outside the initial scope of work and is for time, effort and materials that could not have been anticipated at the time the initial PSA was approved.  

 

Kimley–Horn and Associates, Inc. has provided a separate proposal (attached) which outlines the outstanding cost of services for a not to exceed of $35,000.00.

 

All costs associated with this PSA are paid by the applicant.  The applicant’s account is current and the original funds to pay the initial PSA have been exhausted.  The remaining funds are available to pay out the additional work required to complete this project.
