Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a professional services contract with Mull & Weithman Architects, Inc. for architectural and engineering services for the new Police Division Property Room project located at 724 Woodrow Avenue.

The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 2059-2007, passed December 10, 2007. The initial design work focused on protecting the asset by replacing the roof, securing the building envelope, and designing and replacing the building HVAC system. Ordinance No. 0846-2010, passed July 21, 2010 authorized a modification for the remaining design work. This modification is to provide funding for additional architectural and engineering services for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection. The overall project design will be designed with green building principles.

Mull & Weithman Architects, Inc. has institutional knowledge of the project and produced the original design plans. It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to use Mull & Weithman Architects, Inc. on the design modifications. Selecting another architect at this point would lead to duplicated work and possibly mistakes. Therefore, it would not be in the best interests of the City to request qualifications for these professional services.

Fiscal Impact: The amount of the original contract was $400,000.00. The first modification was in the amount of $679,515.00. This modification is in the amount of $19,434.18. The total cost of this contract is $1,098,949.18. Funding is available in the Safety Voted Bond Fund.

Mull & Weithman Contract Compliance No. 31-1635306, expiration date January 4, 2012.
