Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to modify a professional architectural and engineering services contract with Harris Design Services, for the design of the construction of a new Fire Station 18 at 1628 Cleveland Avenue. This contract was originally authorized by Ordinance 0830-2003, which passed Council on June 2, 2003. The modification is due to changes in the scopes of services. These scope of service changes included expansion of the Fire Station structure over the original design, expansion of the property perimeter and civil engineering associated with the alley relocation.
This ordinance also authorizes and directs the transfer of $27,250.00 within the Safety Voted Bond Fund, authorizes the expenditure of $27,250.00 from the Safety Voted Bond Fun, amends the 2004 CIB, and declares an emergency.
Emergency action is requested so that the project may proceed on schedule.
Fiscal Impact: A transfer within the Safety Voted Bond Fund from the Land Acquisition Project to the Fire Station #18 Project is necessary to allow the expenditure of $27,250.00. The original contract amount was for $240,000.00. This modification is for $27,250.00. The contract amount including this modification is $267,250.00. CC#31-6568390, exp. 06/15/2007.
