HomeMy WebLinkAbout5/15/2002 - STAFF REPORTS (15) DATE: May 15, 2002 TO: City Council FROM: Director of Planning & Building SUBJECT: AMENDMENT #1 TO CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING SUPPORT SERVICES — PZL, INC. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve Amendment No.1 to Agreement A4381 with PZL, Inc, for planning support services to extend the contract period from July 05,2002 to December 31, 2002. SUMMARY: The City Council approved the initial contract on July 05, 2001 to provide support planning services for specific development project. To date, the contractor has worked on two projects—Ocotillo Energy Project and Palm Hills Specific Plan I. All costs have been paid by project proponents. BACKGROUND: The purpose of the proposed amendment to the planning services agreement is to provide support to Planning Division staff. Currently, the Planning Division is understaffed and working overtime to keep up with permit applications. This contract provides a backup support program for specific development projects. All costs will be paid by project applicants, so there should be no direct cost to the City. Specific projects which have been assigned to the consultant are the Palm Hills Specific Plan and the Ocotillo Energy Facility. The Palm Hills Specific Plan entails the review of Specific Plan text, review of the Draft Environmental Impact Report, preparation of notices and reports„and attendance at meetings, as needed. The only other project assigned was the Ocotillo Energy Facility, I In addition to these two projects, the contract allows for assignment of additional projects on an as-needed basis. All costs would be paid by applicants. Project assignments will be recommended by the Director and approved by the City Manager. Having a contract planner available is a good relief valve and will provide our customers with a contract services option. Currently the Building Division utilizes several outsource service providers to manage workload and the Planning Division uses one outsource planner who is not availab e- r these larger long-term projects.
