Explanation
Background: This legislation is to modify and increase the construction contract with McDaniel's Construction Corporation, Incorporated, (contract compliance #31-1145406, expiration 5/17/07) for the Alley East of Neil Avenue project in an amount up to $59,995.72 for the purpose of project close-out. The project limits were King Avenue to Ninth Avenue. The project consisted of the reconstruction of the alley pavement and improved drainage . This contract is being modified to pay for the relocation of an existing waterline that was in conflict with the proposed storm sewer, and was not known until the time the sewer was to be constructed. Prices were obtained by negotiations with McDaniel's Construction Corporation, Incorporated, using past project prices for new items. This legislation also authorizes the reimbursement of the Transportation Division by the Division of Power and Water for expenses already incurred for this project.
Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the construction contract so that the project contract may be closed in an expeditious manner.
