RECOMMENDATION(S)

Acting as the governing body of the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 17-590 with L. Curti Truck & Equipment increasing the total contract amount by $250,000 from $250,000 to $500,000 for heavy equipment rental services with no other changes to the contract period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022.

Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The San Bernardino County Flood Control District (District) is funded by property taxes, fees, and local, state, and federal funding. Sufficient appropriation and revenue have been included in the District’s 2019-20 budget and will be included in future recommended budgets.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The proposed contract amendment will increase the total contract amount for Contract No. 17-590 with L. Curti Truck & Equipment (L. Curti) to allow the District to continue to receive bids from L. Curti for heavy equipment rental services to be used on routine road maintenance projects, public projects not exceeding the amount identified in Public Contract Code section 22032(a) and emergency road projects (following applicable provisions of the Public Contract Code). The proposed amendment allows the District to continue to utilize L. Curti for up to an additional $250,000 for specific projects on an as-needed basis. Having a list of readily accessible pre-qualified vendors available for heavy equipment rental services provides good value to the District and aligns with the County and Chief Executive Officer’s goals to provide for the safety of County residents and to operate in a fiscally-responsible and business-like manner.
On June 27, 2017 (Item No. 87), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved contracts with 33 vendors to be on the District’s’ on-call heavy equipment rental services list. This item included the contract with L. Curti in an amount not-to-exceed $250,000 (Contract No. 17-590) for a contract term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022. Expenditures for Contract No. 17-590 with L. Curti are reaching the not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 due to L. Curti being the lowest bidder for trucking services.
The term of the contract will remain the same.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
