RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommendation
Approve a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. for on-call Planning Division support services and increase the contract amount by an additional $100,000, for an aggregate amount of $200,000 through June 30, 2027.
end
BACKGROUND
On January 1, 2025, the City Manager approved an agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. to provide on-call Planning Division support services, in an amount not-to-exceed $100,000. Later that year, on July 1, 2025, the City Manager approved an agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. for as-needed Building Division support services, in an amount not-to-exceed $100,000. As the total of these contracts exceeds the approval authority of the City Manager, the subject contract amendment is being presented to the City Council for approval.
On March 1, 2026, the City Council approved a First Amendment to the on-call Planning Division support services agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. to implement an additional engineering fee schedule and to extend the term of the Agreement for an additional six (6) months ending on June 30, 2027. The not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 remained unchanged.
CSG Consultants, Inc. has provided engineering services associated with the entitlement process for the proposed Westminster Mall Project. As the engineering services being provided are included in the review of a planning development application, these services are covered under the scope of work of the existing contract. The costs associated with these services and the existing scope of work will be offset by developer deposits throughout this multi-year project.
The Second Amendment does not change the scope of services; it does increase the amount of the contract by an additional $100,000 to continue to provide on-call Plannng Division support services. The new not-to-exceed amount of the contract will be $200,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
A significant portion of the cost will be offset through payments from developers who have entered into Reimbursement Agreements with the City to process their development applications. Sufficient funds to execute this amendment are available in the FY 26-27 Adopted Budget, Planning Contractual account (61050-43090).
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed as to form.
CONCLUSION
The Mayor and City Council are recommended to approve a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. to support key functions of the Community Development Department Planning Division.
