ITEM 7.0 .
CONTRACTUAL F IRST AMENDMENT WITH NINYO & MOORE FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
T he City Council is req uested to ap prove a first amendment (Attachment "A ") to the
professional services agreement wi t h Nin yo & Moore for add itiona l environmental site
assessmen t serv ices not to exceed a tota l contract amount of $31 ,933 .
BACKGROUND :
1. On August 2 1, 20 17 , the City entered into a $24 ,700 service agreement with Ninyo &
Moore to cond uct env ironmenta l reviews perta ining to demolition of the City's
Primrose pro pe rt ies (APNs 8587 -014-904 , -905) (Attachment "B"). The services
spec ifically called for a hazardous buildi ng materials survey to assess the level of
asbestos a nd lead -based paint in all buildings ; and to ove rsee the proper removal of
said mate ria ls (d urin g demolition) purs uant to all applicable environmental st andards .
2 . On May 29 , 20 18, Counci l tentativ e ly approved ite ms in the City's proposed 20 18-1 9
Cap ita l Im prove me nt Program , whi ch in c ludes demoli tion of the City 's Pri mrose
properties . Staff is currently working with Transtech to finalize a project scope and
schedu le tha t antic ipates an A ug ust start date . (The information will soon be
presented befo re t he Counci l's Futu re Development of City Properties Standing
Committee .)
3. To date , a number of pre-demolition activities have been completed at the Pri mrose
properties incl udi ng tenant relocat ion , utility c apping , env ironmental due d ili gence
and t he hazardous building mater ials survey . Neve rt heless , in rev iewing project files ,
it was determ ined that one last act ivity remains : a Phase I environmental site
assessment for o ne of the parce ls (AP N 8587-014-904 ), which was purchased in
2007 .

ANALYSIS:
The requested amendment calls for the following provisions :
• Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Noted as a best practice for land and property purchases , a Phase I environmental
site assessment (ESA) provides site-specific information regarding environmental
cleanup liens , and activity and use limitations. The analysis is consistent with
standards and practices prescribed by ASTM International and the US Environmental
Protection Agency.
A Phase I ESA was performed for APN 8587-014-905 as part of the City 's purchase
in 2012 . Findings concluded no additional analyses needed , which can be presumed
for APN 8587-014-904 given its size, close proximity and similar land use.
Council could elect to forgo the Phase I ESA on APN 8587-014-904 w ith the
assumption that the property is considered "clean ." Nevertheless , staff recommends
against this as a Phase I ESA would : (1) formally document current env ironmental
conditions; (2) be required should the City sell the property or bond against it for
future redevelopment ; and (3) allow all project-related environmental due dil igence
activities to be completed by July 13 , 2018 .
Phase I ESA cost: $4 ,330 .
• Project Contingency
In the event of additional environmental analyses for APN 8587 -014-904 , the
requested 10 % project contingency (current contract amount plus the Phase I ESA
cost) would expeditiously allow for any additional reviews-e .g . a Phase II ESA-
without affecting the start date for demolition activities.
Project contingency cost: $2 ,907.
• Contract Duration
The requested amendment extends the co ntract expiration date from June 30 , 2018
to June 30 , 2019. The existing contract calls for the monitori ng and remova l of on -site
hazardous materials , which will be completed later this year in conjunction with
demolition activities .
• Insurer Requirements
As a legal formality , th e amendment revises Section 16 and 17 of the ori ginal
agreement. This action respectively modifies indemnification terms and certain

language related to insurances to better comply with standards required of the City
by its insurers.
No other contract amendments are anticipated .
C ITY ST RATEGIC GOAL:
Actions contained in this report primarily align with the City's strategic goals of economic
development and good governance.
FISCAL IMPACT :
None . Costs associated with the requested $7 ,233 contract amendment are to be
funded by Account No . 01-910-42-4231 (Management Serv ices : Professiona l Services ).
All unexpended conti ngency monies will be returned to the General Fund .
