Council Meeting: March 11, 2003 Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Modify the Professional Services Contract
127CD with ICF Consulting Services, L.L.C. to Provide Additional
Environmental Services at the City Yard.
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to modify the
professional services contract 127CD with ICF Consulting Services (ICF) in an amount
not to exceed $200,000, plus $30,000 in contingency to provide additional
environmental services at the City Yard.
BACKGROUND
On September 12, 2000, City Council awarded a contract to ICF for environmental
services following a competitive selection process.
The City maintains various facilities at the Maintenance Yard on Michigan Avenue. As a
part of its ongoing operations, the City undertakes environmental assessment
investigation and monitoring of this site. The requested authorization would fund the
next stage of assessment.

DISCUSSION
The proposed contract modification with ICF to address this scope of services
represents a continuation of an existing contractual relationship with ICF, which has
provided services for the initial phases of the assessment. This work is highly
specialized and technical that requires the services of an experienced and qualified
environmental engineering firm. The extension of this contract with ICF is
recommended due to their qualifications, knowledge of the subject sites, and technical
expertise.
It is proposed that the contract term end September 30, 2003. By that time staff will
have competitively selected a consultant for any additional services as may be required
to meet City goals.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for the proposed contract modification are available in CIP account
C25002003.589000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to modify the
professional services contract 127CD with ICF in an amount not to exceed $200,000,
plus $30,000 in contingency to provide additional environmental assessment services at
the City Yard.
