body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City Council previously approved the extension of the contract with MBI through June 30, 2025, to provide compliance work for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and housing program support services.
Staff had been attempting to hire another Program Specialist to assist with CDBG administration and other housing grants. However, the recruitment process was not successful, and the position was re-directed to Planning. To maintain continuity of operations, especially as the City implements the new 5-year consolidated plan, Staff is requesting to extend the MBI agreement through June 30, 2026 and have sufficient funds on the existing contract. The amendment will include CDBG administration and Labor Compliance for the Access Center project.
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to execute Amendment No. 8 to the Professional Services Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI) for Community Development Block Grant Administration and Housing Program Support Services to extend the term of the agreement through June 30, 2026 and roll any unexpended funds to Fiscal Year 2026.
