Hogan, Community Development Director.: Prepared by: Laura Stringer, Senior Manageme t �alyst DATE: March 24, 2004 (CC Meeting of 4/07/04) SUBJECT: Consider Amendment No. 4 to Professional Services Agreement between the City of Moorpark and Professional Design Incorporated for Landscape Review and Inspection Services BACKGROUND On October 3, 2001, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Professional Design Incorporated (formerly Professional Design Associates) for landscape review and inspection services (approved by the City Council on September 5, 2001). The Agreement was approved initially for one year, with a provision that authorized the City Manager to extend the term of the Agreement, which has occurred on several occasions. For the last several months, by mutual consent, landscape review and inspection services have been provided by Professional Design Incorporated (PDI) on a month to month basis while staff prepared a Request for Qualifications and Proposal (RFQ /P) for these services. DISCUSSION Although staff has been very satisfied with the services provided by PDI, review of a professional services contract of this nature should occur periodically to insure that the services are provided in an appropriate manner and at a reasonable cost. Staff has prepared a RFQ /P for landscape plan review and inspection services and plans to send it out in late March or early April to interested landscape architectural firms. As mentioned above, PDI has been providing services on a month to month basis. Since it has taken longer to process the RFQ /P than originally anticipated, staff recommends that Amendment No. 4 be approved to extend the term of the Agreement with PDI to September S: \Community Development \ADMIN \AGMTS \Consultant \agmt - Professional Design Assoc \Agenda Reports \cc 040407amend4.doc 000154 Honorable City Council April 7, 2004 Page 2 30, 2004, to allow staff to fully evaluate the qualifications and proposals submitted.
