JHK & Associates contract with the City expired on December 31, 1987. Due to the additional time and changing scenarios, a contract extension and amendment authorizing additional funding is requested. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the amendment agreement and appropriate funds. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: The agreement with JHK & Associates expired on December 31, 1987. Due to extended consideration of the General Plan, work has been continuously provided by JHK and Associates. Therefore, an agreement with JHK and Associated needs to be updated and extended to include the period of time from December 31, 1987, up to the adoption of the circulation element of the General Plan. The current time schedule calls for adoption by September 1988. An extension of JHK & Associates' contract to September 30, 1988, should be sufficient to cover the completion of final work. The agreement needs to be extended to reflect the circulation element for Scenario 4 Land Use that was selected by City Council in March 1988. ~ Approval of the contract extension by Council has been delayed by a number of factors such as not having the Traffic Engineer who negotiated the original and subsequent amendments available to supervise and monitor the contract, delays and changes to land use that directly impact traffic projections, and evaluation of each land use change on the contract. JHK has continued to work on the circulation element in order to keep on schedule with the understanding ` that they were taking a risk by not having a valid contract. Also in the original agreement with JHK & Associates, 150 hours of meetings time was set and funded. However, JHK & Associates staff attended more than 150 hours of meetings due to expanded hearings, conferences, and changes in land use scenarios. r • / ^ ^~ -~; _~w _~ ,~ Page 2, Item 6 • Meeting Date 5 3 88 Staff and JHK & Associates are in the process of discussing salary adjustments for the period July 1, 1987 to December 31, 1987. Currently, there has not been an agreement on this matter. Staff may return to the City Council to request additional funds if it is determined that JHK should be paid for their salary adjustment. However, this has nothing to do with this extension or amendment. Staff would prefer to continue working with JHK and Associates with an amended contract. In addition to the funds remaining in the existing authorized budget, staff estimates that it will require an additional $50,596 to complete the circulation element of the General Plan. This additional work can be broken down as follows: 1. Additional costs associated with continuation of project. - Cost for attending additional meetings $5,568 2. Additional cost associated with new tasks requested by City of Chula Vista. - Estimated cost to attend project related meetings $ 6,600 through Sept. 30, 1988 (120 person hours) - Estimated cost to perform further testing $15,158 • and reporting work on Scenario 4 "Ultimate Land Use" through 9/30/88 - Cost due to perform the initial coding of the $4,500 preliminary land use data for Scenario 4 - Estimated cost to prepare a policy for $ 2,650 intersection geometrics based on roadway classification - Estimated cost to incorporate the latest $ 4,000 City documents pertaining to transit, bikes and scenic routes into the General Plan document. JHK will develop brief text descriptions of these three topics and provide individual graphics illustrating each element - Other direct expenses $ 2,000 • Total Additional Cost to Complete the Work $40,476 15% Contingencies & 10% Staff Time $10,120 TOTAL $50,596 ' • FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost to complete this additional work including contingencies and staff time is $50,596.
