TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to amend Contract No. 34108 with Perceptive Enterprises, Inc., of Los Angeles, CA; Contract No. 34109 with Pacifica Services, Inc., of Pasadena, CA; Contract No. 34173 with Padilla & Associates, Inc., of Santa Ana, CA; and Contract No. 34122 with Comprehensive Housing Services, Inc., of Santa Ana, CA, for the provision of professional prevailing wage and other labor compliance monitoring services, to extend the contracts to November 14, 2022.

City Council approval is requested to execute contract amendments with the Vendors, to extend the term for two one-year periods through November 14, 2022, to continue critical labor compliance monitoring services for projects that will extend beyond the current contract expiration.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was released for these services and a request to award new contracts for the required consulting services for all new future projects is before the City Council for approval at today’s meeting under separate cover.
