City Manager Approval
Item to be presented by:
T. Brad Therrien
CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: January 14, 1997
SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN
DEPARTMENT: Building and Engineering Services
The Infrastructure Master Plan will provide the City with an effective management tool, which
will help to prioritize new construction and maintenance programming of both existing and new
infrastructure. The plan will inventory all facilities and assess their condition to determine the
repairs, upgrades or new facilities that are needed in the fixture. It will also measure the impact
that new development will have upon our existing infrastructure.
On February 27, 1996, Council approved a contract with CH2M Hill in the amount of $275,000
to develop the Infrastructure Master Plan. This project is currently 70% complete. The scope
of work has been expanded to include additional items that were not anticipated when the
original Request for Qualifications was developed. Additional funds are required for the
following added scope of work: 1) identification of local street deficiencies ($12,000);
2) evaluation of the County's decision not to give the City a sphere of influence, including
discussions with the City Planning Director, LAFCO staff and the County to provide facts that
would enable the City to increase its influence over new development outside City boundaries
($4,000); 3) evaluation of water planning and management activities in the Santa Clarita Valley
($7,000); and 4) an expanded public participation element through added open houses and
presentations to the Parks and Planning Commissions ($24,000): The total requested increase,
including an appropriate contingency, is $65,000.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve amendment of the Infrastructure Master Plan contract to increase the authorized
amount by $65,000.
2. Authorize budget transfer of $65,000 from City Council Contingency Account No. 1240-7401
to Infrastructure Master Plan Account No. 4340-8028.
