body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Lodi initiated an update of its Sphere of Influence (“SOI”) and Municipal Services Review (“MSR”) in early 2021. As part of this effort, the City issued a request for proposals seeking qualified consultants to assist
with preparing an environmental review of the proposed SOI and MSR updates and to provide additional technical services related to these efforts. The firm PlaceWorks was selected to provide these services and on
April 21, 2021, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with PlaceWorks for these services.
The start of PlaceWorks’ efforts were delayed to allow the City to consider appropriate boundaries for the Sphere of Influence update. In early 2022, the City revised its approach to complete the MSR and SOI updates through the San Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) ahead of certain anticipated General Plan amendments. The MSR and SOI amendments were approved by LAFCo in October 2022, and Staff has refocused on the General Plan amendments and the EIR that PlaceWorks will prepare.
The City Council considered and approved an extension to the term of the PlaceWorks contract (Amendment No. 1) on April 6, 2022, and on April 5, 2023 the City executed Amendment No. 2 extending the term of the agreement to June 30, 2024. The proposed Amendment No. 3 would extend the term of the PlaceWorks agreement through December 30, 2024. This amendment is limited to the term of service and no change to PlaceWorks’ approved scope of work or budget are proposed.
