body
BACKGROUND
In July of 2022, the County entered into Agreement No. 230068B with Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Incorporated (MIG) to provide assistance and support to the Napa County Watershed Information & Conservation Council (WICC). MIG has assisted the Natural Resources Division (the Division formerly managing the WICC) for the past three years by maintaining, operating, updating, and providing support for the WICC’s online web center. This website serves as a repository for past WICC Agendas and Minutes and provides resources and information for the public on topics such as watersheds, fish and wildlife, climate and weather, etc. Management of the WICC has recently been transferred from the Natural Resources Division to the Conservation Division. The current MIG contract expires at the end of June 2025. While the Conservation Division is working to reimagine the WICC, it is recommended to continue the maintenance of the WICC website and to extend the contract with MIG.
The County would now like to amend the existing Agreement 2300068B to extend the contract for another year, with automatic renewal each year, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the original contract, amend the scope of work to cover necessary services, and allocate the expenditure of up to $14,250 annually, which is a reduction from the previous allocation of $24,500.
Requested Action:
Approve and authorize Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 230068B with MIG.
