TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute a General Services Agreement with the County of Los Angeles for a five-year period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2019. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On March 10, 2009, the City Council approved a five-year General Services Agreement (GSA) with the County of Los Angeles (County). The GSA is general in nature and grants the County authority to provide services requested by municipalities located within the county service area. Services provided under the GSA primarily consist of predatory animal control, prosecution of city ordinances, direct assessment collection, and a variety of public works activities. All services are provided on an “as-needed” basis. The Long Beach Public Works Department has utilized the GSA to assist with bridge assessments and repair/retrofit work, storm drain repairs and construction, street repairs, and materials testing. The current agreement will expire on June 30, 2014, and staff is recommending that the City enter a new agreement for another five-year term.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda Vu on February 25, 2014 and Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on February 24, 2014.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is requested on March 11, 2014, to provide sufficient time for this agreement to go before the County Board of Supervisors for approval prior to expiration of the current agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approximately $2.1 million has been expended for capital projects and storm drain services during the current five-year Agreement term that will expire on June 30, 2014. Expenditures during the new five-year term cannot be projected at this time. However, all expenditures will continue to be made within budgeted funding approved by the City Council.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
