City Council - 5/19/2026 - Agenda Item N3 - Kennedy Jenks Amendment

The City Council of Oxnard held a meeting on May 19, 2026, to discuss and approve the second amendment to agreement A8281 with Kennedy Jenks Incorporated for construction management professional services related to the Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant Reliability Improvement Project (PW20102). The amendment increases the contract value by $573,885 and extends the term to October 31, 2027, due to project delays caused by factors such as coordination with Southern California Edison and equipment lead times. Additionally, the council authorized a budget appropriation transfer of $1.5 million from the wastewater effluent pump station improvements project and a new appropriation of $5.2 million from the Wastewater Operating Fund to support continued construction management, engineering support, and construction costs. The project is currently 85% complete and involves complex upgrades to various plant features. The council's actions ensure compliance with state revolving fund rules and accommodate funding reallocations necessary for project completion.
