Browse Search

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Fraco, Inc. is currently designing the Washington and Reche Canyon project to alleviate congestion on Washington Street and Reche Canyon Road. Fraco, Inc. was retained by the City of Colton using a Professional Services Agreement as awarded by Council action on June 7, 2005. The firm is already familiar with the project and its area, and has already completed substantial design work on the related project. The cost estimate provided by the firm for the design of Hunts Lane is reasonable for the complexity and magnitude of the task. Therefore, it is pertinent to modify the Scope of Professional Services portion of the Fraco, Inc.'s existing contract to allow for the engineering design of the Hunts Lane. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact that would result from approving a Professional Services agreement for the design of Hunts Lane as part of the Washington and Reche Canyon Realignment Project. Staff anticipates a Negative Declaration for the Hunts Lane portion of the project. The road realignment was included in the environmental analysis of the cemetery, which has already been approved by the City Council and Planning Commission. CONFLICT OF INTEREST Exact Business Name: Fraco Enterprises, Inc. President: Maria Fraser, P.E. Contact: Maria Fraser, P.E.

At this time $412,357 remains available to absorb the $67,544 increase to the existing Fraco, Inc. agreement as proposed by the attached amendment to the agreement. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully recommends that Council authorize amending the Fraco Enterprise Inc. original agreement for the Washington and Reche Canyon Realignment project for an additional amount not to exceed $67,544.00 for said firm to incorporate engineering design services for Hunts Lane.
