3. RESOLUTION NO. _______________ - FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT NO.\n22-9896 FOR AS-NEEDED EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND HAZARDOUS WASTE\nMANAGEMENT SERVICES WITH OCEAN BLUE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.\nSummary: Staff requests approval of the proposed First Amendment to Agreement No. 22-9896\n(Agreement) with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. (Ocean Blue). Under Agreement No.\n22-9896, Ocean Blue provides as-needed emergency response and hazardous waste\nmanagement services for the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department). The\nproposed Amendment increases the not-to-exceed contract amount by $977,000, from\n$2,000,000 to $2,977,000, with no change in contract term. The First Amendment is required at\nthis time due to an unplanned, high amount of work requests received to support continued\ndevelopment along the San Pedro Waterfront. The Harbor Department will continue to be\nfinancially responsible for payment of expenditures incurred under the Agreement.\nRecommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has\ndetermined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City\nCEQA Guidelines; (2) approve the First Amendment to Agreement No. 22-9896 with Ocean\nBlue Environmental Services, Inc. to increase the contract amount by $977,000 for a total not-\nto-exceed amount of $2,977,000; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board\nSecretary to attest to said Amendment for and on behalf of the Board; and (4) adopt Resolution\nNo.___________.\nSPECIAL MEETING AGENDA\nEnvironmental Management
