Explanation
This legislation modifies and increases an existing construction contract with The Shelly Company for the Neil Avenue Traffic Islands and Resurfacing project in the amount of $41,324.32. The project limits are from Goodale Street to Eleventh Avenue. The plan details the construction median islands near Poplar, First and Sixth Avenues and the resurfacing of Neil Avenue. This contract is being modified to account for overruns principally due to the addition of new City standard curb ramps to the project. Prices were obtained through negotiations with The Shelly Company using existing unit prices for items already bid and past project prices for new items. Modifications for this project exceed the total bid price by 5.8 percent.
The Shelly Company's contract compliance number is 31-1279704, which expires November 7, 2004.
The original contract amount was for $712,218.99.
This is the first and only modification to this contract. The total of all modifications is $41,324.32.
The contract amount including all modifications is $753,543.31.
Funds for this modification exist in the resurfacing project of the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.
Emergency action is requested for the immediate closure of this construction contract.
