DIRECTOR ,// MTG. 6/3/14 AMEND AND EXTEND THE AGREEMENT WITH RBF CONSULTING FOR PLANCHECKING SERVICES CITY ATTORNEY / DEPT. CED AMEND AND EXTEND THE AGREEMENT WITH RBF CONSULTING FOR PLANCHECKING SERVICES CITY MANAGER l/l^ RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT Resolution No. 2014-111 APPROVING an amendment and extension to the City's agreement with RBF Consulting, for engineering plan check services. ITEM EXPLANATION: On June 16, 2011 the City entered into a professional services agreement with RBF Consulting, for engineering plan check services. The initial term of the agreement is three years, with the option to extend for an additional year, and the compensation stated within the agreement is not to exceed ninety thousand dollars ($90,000) per agreement year, with a total compensation in the initial 3-year term not to exceed two hundred seventy thousand dollars ($270,000). Development activity has increased in Community and Economic Development, and the Land Development Engineering Division has the need to utilize these outside plan check services. Land development engineering anticipates needing the services of RBF in an amount that exceeds the agreement annual limit of $90,000. To date, collected revenue from engineering plan check fees is 180 percent ofthe anticipated revenue for entire fiscal year, supporting the need for the division to utilize the services provided by RBF Consulting and establishing sufficient funds to fulfill the needs of the proposed amendment. Given this increase in development activity, staff recommends amending the compensation clause of the agreement to increase the not-to-exceed amount to two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) per agreement year. Since the initial three-year term is set to expire on June 16,2014, staff also recommends extending the RBF Consulting contract at this time for one additional year in a not-to-exceed amount of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). Land development engineering expects development activity to accelerate through FY 2014-15. FISCAL IMPACT: The Land Development Engineering Division has sufficient funds in its current Fiscal Year budget to fund the proposed amendment to the agreement. Funds have been budgeted for FY 2014-15 for the agreement extension. Fees are collected from permit applicants for engineering plan check services.

Due to increased development, actual revenue to date is $622,950. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.
