Lancaster
City Council
CC 8. Harris & Associates Professional Services Agreement - Amendment No. 2
Recommendation(s):
1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Harris &
Associates for Special District Re-Engineering and Proposition 218 services in the amount of
$42,000, increasing the total contract amount to $178,500.
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to finalize and execute all documents related
to the Agreement.
In May 2025, the City entered into an agreement with Harris & Associates to provide
special district re-engineering and Proposition 218 balloting services. In January 2026, the
City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to expand the scope of work to include additional
analysis associated with the Sewer Maintenance District methodology and parcel data. As the
re-engineering and Proposition 218 process progressed, additional work became necessary
beyond the originally authorized scope. Most significantly, the City requested that Harris
complete a comprehensive Drainage District Parcel Audit, requiring detailed review and
analysis of parcel information, coordination with City staff, and preparation of supporting
documentation.
