DISCUSSION:
On January 24, 2012, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors (“Board”) authorized the execution of a professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc. regarding the provision of design engineering and environmental document development services needed to prepare bridge replacement plans for the Mattole Road Bridge (04C-055) over the Mattole River at Honeydew with Morrison Structures, Inc.
On May 13, 2014, the Board approved the first amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc. which extended the deadline for delivery of services from February 13, 2013 to March 31, 2016. This extension was necessary to allow for the preparation of certain environmental and historical documents that are needed to facilitate completion of Phases I and II of the project.
On March 22, 2016, the Board approved the second amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc. which further extended the deadline for delivery of services to March 31, 2019. This additional extension was due to the historical eligibility of the Honeydew Bridge and preparation of a joint Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Report. These documents were determined necessary to comply with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the California Environmental Quality Act.
On September 20, 2016, the Humboldt County Department of Public Works (“Public Works”) with Stantec Consulting Service, Inc., formerly known as North State Resources, Inc., to assist in the development of the joint Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Report. The Board subsequently approved the third amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc. which designated Stantec Consulting Service, Inc. as the entity which Morrison Structures, Inc. must assist in the development of the joint Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Report, on December 6, 2016.
The attached fourth amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc. will increase the maximum amount payable thereunder in order to cover the services needed to finalize bridge design, provide bid phases assistance and provide environmental and permitting support. Accordingly, Public Works recommends that the Board, and authorize the Chair of the Board to execute, the attached fourth amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The attached fourth amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc. will increase the maximum amount payable thereunder to Six Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($695,000.00). The Federal Highway Administration Highway Bridge Program will provide 88.53% of the funding needed to cover the costs associated with Professional Services Agreement. The remaining 11.47% is funded by the Humboldt County Roads Division.
Expenditure appropriations related to the attached fourth amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc., have been included in the approved fiscal year 2021-2022 budget for the Road Fund budget unit 1200321-2118.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
The recommended actions support the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
California Department of Transportation; California Transportation Commission; Federal Highway Administration
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to approve the attached fourth amendment to the professional services agreement with Morrison Structures, Inc. regarding the provision of engineering services for the Mattole Road Bridge (04C-055) over the Mattole River at Honeydew. However, this alternative is not recommended because Public Works does not have the capacity to develop the technical studies, bridge design plans, and seismic analysis required by California Department of Transportation.
