Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes a modification and increase of a construction contract with McDaniel's Construction Corporation, Incorporated (contract compliance #31-1145406) for the Brick Rehabilitation - 2005 project project in an amount up to $400,000.00. This contract modification will be used to eliminate existing safety hazards at the Mt. Vernon Focal Point as quickly as possible. These issues include crumbling steps and poor drainage, which have caused icing problems in the winter, and lack of proper lighting.

This work is being performed on a plaza area that is more than 30 years old and has not seen any significant maintenance effort since the original construction. This contract was selected for modification because it includes work of a some what similar nature (brick steps, brick planters and brick walls are involved) and the contractor is willing to start work almost immediately. Other items not directly related to safety being performed include an ADA compliant ramp and a new entry sign. Prices are being obtained by negotiations with McDaniel's using existing prices where available and past project prices for new items.

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the construction contract so that work already underway can be paid for and the project may be completed as soon as practicable.

The original contract amount was for: $ 1,081,206.61
The total of this Modification is: $ 400,000.00
The contract amount including all modifications is: $ 1,481,206.61

Fiscal Impact: Funds are available in the Development Limited bond fund.
