Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract for the General Engineering Contract 2008 #3 with Resource International Inc, in the amount of $100,000.00.
Work to date includes: Preparation of resurfacing plans, worksheets for ADA ramp designs, retaining wall designs, bikeway design plans, asphalt plant mix inspection, design of bridge rehabilitation plans, geotechnical studies and plans for safety improvements at a high crash location.
This modification is needed to assure timely completion of the project design and the Division of Planning and Operations does not maintain adequate staff or all of the various disciplines necessary to complete such design in house.
