REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor or Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Johnathan Skinner, Community Services Director
Date:January 24, 2023
Subject:Amendment No. 1 to the On-call Services Agreement with Wood
Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. for Lake Water Testing
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the On-Call Services
Agreement with Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. USA (now Operating as WSP
Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc.) in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.
Background
On August 25, 2020 the City of Lake Elsinore entered into an agreement (Exhibit A) with Wood
Environment and Infrastructure Solutions to assist the City of Lake Elsinore with services relating
to in-lake water quality on an on-call basis including but not limited to the following:
a. Collection of water quality samples and analysis as needed
b. Lake water quality consultation and support as needed
c. Habitat restoration support as needed (e.g. bathometry and sediment sampling)
d. Special projects related to in-lake water quality
e. Grant writing support
The original contract is for three years at $30,000 per year with two optional 1-year extensions.
Discussion
Due to the recent algae bloom and resulting lake closure, the City has utilized WSP for bi-weekly
lake water testing and, thus, the maximum contract amount of $30,000 for FY22/23 has nearly
been exhausted. Since the timeframe of current and future algae blooms is unknown, the
proposed amendment increases the annual allotment by $20,000. It is expected that this amount
will cover the additional testing incurred this fiscal year to date and will allow for the same
frequency of testing during the current and future harmful algae blooms through the two one-year
extension periods, as well. Additionally, Wood is now operating as WSP Environment &
Lake Water Testing

Infrastructure Solutions, Inc., with the name change reflected in the proposed amendment, as
well.
Fiscal Impact
Approval of this item will result in an annual increase from not-to-exceed $30,000 to not-to exceed
$50,000 for the next three fiscal years for a total increase of $60,000 to the agreement.
