Full summary

This file authorizes the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety to amend its existing contract with Gartner, Inc. for project management and IT consulting services. The amendment increases the total contract value by $1,304,606 — from $4,838,050 to $6,142,656 — and extends the contract term by 21 months through March 15, 2028. The City Administrative Officer submitted the recommendation on March 31, 2026, and it was initiated through the Mayor's office. The contract is funded entirely outside the General Fund. The CAO confirmed the costs will be covered by the Building and Safety Building Permit Enterprise Fund and the Development Services Trust Fund, both of which are supported by dedicated permit and development fee revenue. There is no impact to the City's General Fund. The Planning and Land Use Management Committee reviewed the matter at its May 12, 2026 meeting and approved the CAO's recommendation unanimously, with all five members — Blumenfield, Hutt, Nazarian, Lee, and Raman — voting yes. The City Attorney reviewed and approved the amended contract as to form. The item was then scheduled for full Council consideration on May 22, 2026, with a hard deadline for Council action of June 9, 2026. As of the most recent activity, the amendment is awaiting final Council approval. If adopted, the General Manager of the Department of Building and Safety, or a designee, will be authorized to execute the restated agreement with Gartner.
