| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Mark Thomas & Company completed all of the design and property acquisition surveying required for the County Road 98 Safety Improvement Project. Extending this contract and including additional funds will allow the same surveyor to provide survey support during construction of this project. This will provide a financial savings and continuity of the work, eliminating a costly “learning curve” for new surveyors for the project, as they become familiar for work completed in the past by Mark Thoma& Company.
BACKGROUND
On March 24, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement No. 09-47 with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. (MTCO) for land surveying services as needed for road and bridge projects. On November 9, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with MTCO to provide funds for additional survey work. The amended contract amount was increased to $380,000. MTCO has performed all of the topographical surveying, right of way mapping, right of way staking for appraisals, preparation of legal descriptions for right of way purchase, utility staking, right of way boundary staking for the County Road 98 Safety Improvement Project, right of way acquisition surveying for the CR 29 Salt Creek Bridge Project, and other smaller projects.
The additional funds are needed for preparation of a record of survey, construction surveying for the County Road 98 Safety Improvement Project, and right of way and other survey requirements for future projects.
The amendment increases the maximum compensation to $630,000. |
