RANCHO PALOS VERDES
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
As a department in a contract city, the Public Works Department (Public Works) relies on
consultants to augment City Staff and perform various encroachment permit plan reviews
and associated engineering services for utility company applications and other work
within the City’s public right-of-way. This includes Citywide telecommunication facilities
for wireless communications companies.
Until January 2024, wireless telecommunication applications have been handled by the
City with staff augmentation from Interwest Consulting Group , Inc. (Interwest). There were
recent internal staffing changes at Interwest whereby the consultants that had been
approved by the City, as per the professional services agreement with Interwest, were no
longer available. Therefore, Staff solicited qualifications for consultants, including
Interwest and others, to provide telecommunication permit application services. City Staff
determined that consultants from Ardurra Group, Inc. (Ardurra) were more qualified and
had the experience and training necessary to meet City requirements.
Due to the time sensitive nature of wireless telecommunication applications, it was
necessary for Public Works to quickly procure consultant services. Therefore, an
agreement not to exceed $25,000 was entered with Ardurra on January 31, 2024, under
the City Manager’s signing authority (Attachment A).
Continued consultant assistance is necessary and accordingly, the City Council is
requested to authorize an amendment to the initial agreement with Ardurra that increases
the not-to-exceed total amount by $99,800 from $25,000 to $124,800, which would
provide a budget for Ardurra to continue to provide services beyond April 16, 2024 to
January 31, 2025 (Attachment B).
This amended agreement is written in a not-to-exceed structure. If the need for services
decreases during the term of this amended agreement, the City is not obligated to request
work nor expend any funds.
CONCLUSION:
Staff therefore recommends the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the
Professional Services Agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc. for Citywide
telecommunication permit processing services.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Do not approve Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement with
Ardurra. However, this action may severely limit Public Works’ ability to process
wireless telecommunication permit applications for small wireless facilities in a
timely manner.
2. Take other action, as deemed appropriate by the City Council.

to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for
interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of
City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of
the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by
