Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes a modification to the existing design contract for the Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization No. 2 project. This project constructs a streetscape for North High Street from Lane Avenue to Arcadia Avenue. This modification provides funding for the incorporation of sewer separation improvements that will be constructed as part of this project and a variety of additional design needed to address increasing complexity of the utility work involved in these plans. This includes an analysis of potential full pavement replacement, upgrades to the signal inner connect system, relocation of city communication facilities, upgraded utility information (vacuum test pits), and other minor items. This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and would not be practical to contract with a different consultant. Hourly rates, overhead rate and the percent profit were negotiated based on the original contract. ms consultants, Inc., contract compliance number 34-6546916 (expires 7/26/2005), was selected in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

FISCAL IMPACT: Money is available for the sewer separation in the Voted Sanitary Bond Fund. Monies for the other roadway related items in this modification are available in the Voted 1995, 1999 Streets and Highways Fund.

Original contract amount $254,083.00.
modification #1 $316,855.96.
this modification $980,000.00
Total contract amount including all modifications is $1,550,938.96.

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the earliest possible completion of this project.
