Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with Woolpert, Inc. for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Karl Road - SR161 to Schrock Rd project in an amount up to $30,000.00.
In 2005, the City procured design services for this project and in 2006 entered into a contract with Woolpert, Inc. in the amount of $475,085.00. In 2007, the Director of Public Service modified the contract in an amount of $24,905.00. Design was completed in 2009 and the Department had not yet received construction funding for the project. The Department now anticipates receiving construction funding in the 2013 CIB for this project and wishes to modify the contract with Woolpert, Inc. for Woolpert, Inc. to provide engineering services during construction. Because Woolpert, Inc. had done the original design it would be impractical and inefficient to procure design services for this phase of the project.
The original contract was for $475,085.00, authorized by Ordinance 1647-2005 (EL1647-2005).
Modification number 1 was for $24,905.00, authorized by Ordinance 0541-2007 (EL007232).
Modification number 2 is for $30,000.00.
The total contract amount, including all modifications, is $529,990.00.
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Woolpert, Inc.
2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
The contract compliance number for Woolpert, Inc. is 201391406 and expires 6/16/13.
3. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this contract is budgeted and available within the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Funds Fund 704. A transfer of cash and appropriation is necessary to allow for this contract modification.
4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
The Department of Public Service is requesting City Council to enact this legislation as an emergency measure to maintain the project schedule as the construction shall be advertised very soon.
