AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Kat Valencia, Administrative Specialist
DATE: 04/06/2022 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Amendments to Agreements with Chambers Group, Inc.,
Civic Solutions, Inc., and Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. to Update
the Scope of Services, Specifying the Not-to-Exceed Total Contract
Values to be in Relation to Services Provided for City Projects, and

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND
Amendments are proposed to three existing City contracts – Chambers Group, Inc.
(Chambers), Civic Solutions, Inc. (Civic Solutions), and Interwest Consulting Group, Inc.
(Interwest).
Following a Request for Proposals (RFP) and competitive bid process, the City of
Moorpark entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Chambers for on-call
environmental consulting services on August 1, 2019. On February 3, 2020, the City and
Consultant executed Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement to increase the compensation
for services to be performed by the Consultant from $100,000 by a value of $75,000. On
September 28, 2020, the City and Consultant executed Amendment No. 2 to the
Agreement to increase the compensation for services to be performed by the Consultant
from $175,000 by a value of $225,000, for a total contract value of $400,000. On July 29,
2021, the City and Consultant executed Amendment No. 3 to the agreement to extend
the term of the agreement to continue in effect until terminated or suspended pursuant to
the agreement.
Following an RFP and competitive bid process, the City of Moorpark entered into a
Professional Services Agreement with Civic Solutions for contract planning services on
July 1, 2021, for a total contract value of $150,000. The term of the Agreement is from
the date of execution to June 30, 2024.

Following an RFP and competitive bid process, the City of Moorpark entered into a
Professional Services Agreement with Interwest, for contract planning services on July 1,
2021, for a total contract value of $150,000. The term of the Agreement is from the date
of execution to June 30, 2024.
DISCUSSION
A majority of the costs associated with these contracts are reimbursed by private
developer deposits. The manner in which all contracts were prepared require the City to
allocate public funds against the contract amounts, despite the costs ultimately being
reimbursed from private developer deposits. The proposed amendments will allow direct
billing to developer deposits without requiring the City to encumber public funds for this
purpose. Diagrams depicting the existing and proposed cash flow are provided below:
Existing
Proposed
This change will require that the not-to-exceed amounts related to City projects within the
individual agreements be tracked through Additional Services Authorizations (ASA’s).
These projects will be initiated by the City and are not associated with a developer deposit
account. Once the City initiates the project, the City will solicit project schedules and
costs from the Consultant to best determine which Consultant should perform the work.
At that time the Consultant with the proposal that meets the City needs will receive an
ASA, and the ASA will be signed off by the City and Consultant.

Interwest to continue in-effect until terminated or suspended pursuant to the Agreements.
This is consistent with the Chambers Agreement.

There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with this request. Staff is not requesting
additional funds at this time.
