CONTRACT EXTENSION: ALHAMBRA COMMUNITY CENTER
MANAGEMENT SERVICES – F2M22-65, C2M23-43, M2M25-162
PROJECT
On May 22, 2023, the City Council awarded a contract not to exceed $750,000 for 30
months to Cowley Corbis for project management services for the construction of the
Alhambra Community Center. The current agreement is scheduled to expire by its terms
on November 30, 2025. This amendment is necessary to complete the Alhambra
Community Center Project. The project had been extended due to unforeseen CEQA
requirements, including the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”). The original agreement
was for a mitigated negative declaration path to a final CEQA determination. The project
also required additional public outreach and public meetings to review the project's design
and historical preservation aspects. The Alhambra Community Center is projected to be
completed by July, 2027.
Recommended Action:
City Council approve an amendment, subject to final
language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, to the contract with Cowley and
Corbis (Contract No. C2M23-43) for project management services for the Alhambra
Community Center for an additional $500,000 in an amount no to exceed $1,250,000 for
a term of twenty months from December 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027; and, direct staff to
undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action. (M2M25-162) |
