Resolution

WHEREAS, WEST Consultants Inc. (WEST) has an existing Personal Services Agreement with Lewis County, acting as the fiscal agent for the Chehalis River Basin Flood Authority (Flood Authority), related to the ongoing support of the Early Flood Warning System, as well as an amended scope of work to relocate 6 gages. The amendment will increase the existing budget by $77,561.00 for a total amount not to exceed of $184,086.40; and

WHEREAS, during the November 19, 2020, meeting, the Flood Authority discussed and directed Lewis County, as fiscal agent for the Flood Authority, to negotiate and execute a contract amendment to the existing Supplement Agreement with West further described in the Attachment A, the Scope of Work and Attachment B Compensation, for a revised total amount not to exceed $184,086.40 through the 2021 calendar year; and

WHEREAS, the Twenty-first Supplement Agreement between Lewis County and WEST must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), and the Director of Community Development must be authorized to sign said agreement on behalf of the County; and

WHEREAS, the BOCC has reviewed the attached Twenty-first Supplement Agreement with WEST and it appears to be in the best interest to enter into said agreement upon the recommendation of the Flood Authority.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the BOCC concurs with the recommendation of the Flood Authority and approves the attached Twenty-first Supplement Agreement between WEST Consultants Inc. and Lewis County, acting as the fiscal agent for the Flood Authority.  All other terms of the existing PSA, as well as supplemental agreements, remain in full force and effect; and
