Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase a contract on behalf of Construction Management with Harris Design Services for professional architectural and engineering consulting services. This will serve as a blanket contract to perform small to midsize projects for the Public Safety Department such as the police firing range, fire station window replacements, fire station pavement repairs, and related smaller design projects. The Office of Construction Management will utilize this blanket contract to perform construction renovations and repairs and small to medium capital funded projects.

The original contract was awarded through Requests for Proposals and authorized by Ordinance No. 1122-2010, passed by City Council on June 21, 2010, in the amount of $475,000.00. The contract was not bid for a particular building but encompassed various Public Safety renovation projects. A modification is in the best interests of the City and the Department of Public Safety so as to ensure outdoor projects can be constructed during the warmer moths of the year.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $250,000.00 from the Safety Voted Bond Fund, where there are sufficient funds to cover this expense. In order to spend these funds, an amendment to the 2011 Capital Improvement Budget is necessary. The Office of Construction Management will add $50,000.00 to this contract. The original contract amount was $475,000.00, and with this modification, the total cost of this contract will be $775,000.00.

Harris Design Services Contract Compliance No. 31-6568390, expiration date June 2, 2012.
