Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with Korda/Nemeth Engineering, Inc. to add additional funds for design of the Economic and Community Development - 3P GE North Market.
Ordinance 0577-2021 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Korda/Nemeth Engineering, Inc. for the Economic and Community Development - 3P GE North Market project. The contract is focused on utility relocations in the Arena and Convention Center Districts of the City around the existing North Market building. This area was the subject of a utilities master plan that will be used for the basis of the scope of improvements. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $1,000.000.00.

This is an unplanned modification that is necessary to complete the overall project and the City’s commitment in the executed Economic Development Agreement for the North Market due to unexpected archaeological monitoring and investigation of construction activities related to the North Graveyard. This modification will provide additional funding to complete the streetscape design. It was deemed to be more cost efficient to modify the existing contract than to bid this part of the work.

The original contract amount: $ 750,000.00 (PO265378, Ord. 0577-2021)
The total of Modification No. 1 $1,000,000.00 (This Ordinance)

The contract amount including all modifications: $1,750,000.00

Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Korda/Nemeth Engineering, Inc.
