Reason for Recommended Action/Background
On September 28, 2021, the Board approved a work authorization with Comstock Johnson Architects for an amount not to exceed $155,000 to develop a schematic design, including construction documents, bidding assistance, and construction phase services. These documents were prepared for a stand-alone, pre-engineered metal building and associated site improvements to support the planned relocation of the Yolo County Agriculture Department Shops.
Today’s action seeks the Board’s approval of amendment #2 to Agreement No. 24-07 with Comstock Johnson in the amount of $13,660 to allow for additional architectural support for construction management support services, plus unanticipated updates of the floor plan layout, plumbing plan and electrical power plan.

The proposed facility, approximately 5,676 square feet, will be located in the northwest corner of the 120 West Main Street property. It will accommodate a trapping shop, maintenance shop, pesticides shop, and water shop. Additionally, the building will be equipped with HVAC, exhaust systems, and a fire suppression system.
On March 25, 2025, the Board approved a work authorization amendment #1 in the amount of $70,366, increasing the total work authorization to a not-to-exceed amount of $225,366. This amendment increasing the work authorization by $13,660 addresses additional project requirements, including the rebid of the project, conversion of the design from gas to all-electric to reduce construction costs, and landscaping and irrigation modifications requested by the City of Woodland.
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
The General Services Department collaborated with the Agricultural Department, Department of Financial Services, County Counsel and the County Administrator's Office to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to the project.
Competitive Bid Process/Vendor Performance
On-call contracts were solicited and reviewed in compliance with the Department of Financial Services policies and procedures. Contracts were approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 9th, 2024. The work with Comstock Johnson began under the prior on-call contract and continues under the new contract approved in 2024. Board approval of this work authorization is required because the total compensation will exceed $100,000.
