Pursuant to this Agreement, Michael Fontana acts on behalf of the City Manager as the City's "Owner's Representative' in various meetings with the developer, contractors and engineers associated with the Downtown Revitalization Project, providing expertise in construction management, cost estimating, budgeting, and project scheduling in a manner which seeks to advocate for the City's interests. Additionally, Mr. Fontana reviews expenditures from the "public escrow" account associated with the project to ensure compliance with the City's partnership Agreement with the developer. rMM NO. City Council Staff Report March 15, 2017 - Page 2 Approval of Amendment#3 to Agreement No. A6132 The nature of the Agreement is for on-call, as-needed services, so the amount of the Agreement was unspecified because the number and type of capital projects requiring the Consultant's services throughout the duration of the term of the Agreement was unknown. The initial budget under the Agreement was established with the understanding that additional funding would need to be added once the Downtown Revitalization Project was fully underway. On October 1, 2014, the City Council approved Amendment #1 to the Agreement increasing the budget by $50,000 for Owner's Representative Services associated with the Downtown Revitalization Project. On October 21, 2015, the City Council approved Amendment #2 to the Agreement increasing the budget by $50,000 for Owner's Representative Services associated with the Downtown Revitalization Project. Staff has prepared Amendment #3 that authorizes $50,000 additional budget for these services for the core activity of constructing the public improvements and preparing the infrastructure for the Downtown Palm Springs Park. The new maximum contract total is $175,000. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The requested City Council action is not a 'Project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

According to Section 15378(b), a Project does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available in the Measure J Capital Fund, Account No. 260-4500- 59464 for Amendment No. 3 in the amount of$50,000. SUBMITTED Marcus L. Fuller, MPA, P.E., P.L.S.
