City Council

15. SECOND CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH HIRSCH & ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS OF THE ALHAMBRA DOG PARK PROJECT – F2M18-35, C2M24- 51, M2M26-125 On August 26, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to Hirsch & Associates, Inc. in the amount of $155,130.00 for planning and professional engineering, and design services to provide plans, specifications, and bid documentation for the Alhambra Dog Park Project. The second amendment is necessary to revise the PCLUP and provide additional services required by the County of Los Angeles following its review of the Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. These additional services were not identified in the original scope of work because they resulted from the County’s review of the environmental investigation and the subsequent regulatory requirements for post-closure development of the former landfill site. The expanded scope includes preparation of a soil mitigation plan, a site-specific Health and Safety Plan certified by a Certified Industrial Hygienist, and development of an annual site monitoring program. The County must approve the final PCLUP before construction of a dog park. An additional $104,634.00 is required to conduct the additional assessment of the site in order to draft and submit the final PCLUP. Recommended Action: City Council approve a second amendment to agreement C2M24-51 with Hirsch & Associates, Inc., subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, for an additional $104,634.00 for unforeseen sub-consultant services required by the County of Los Angeles to process the final Post Closure Land Use Paperwork (PCLUP) for the Alhambra Dog Park; direct the Finance Director to appropriate funds; and, direct staff to undertake the steps to finalize Council’s action.
