Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with ms consultants, inc. for the Gay Street Traffic Calming General Engineering project. This project is being designed to convert Gay Street to two way operation from Front Street to Cleveland Avenue. This modification provides for inclusion of water line work,sanitary sewer lining, and manhole rehabilitiation work at the request of the Department of Public Utilities. This work is being included in this contract to better coordinate with several private development projects and to avoid reopening the street after the two way conversion is completed. 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. Using the same consultant eliminates any overlapping survey and design work and allows the project to maintain the exting schedule. Hourly rates, overhead rate and the percent profit were negotiated based on the original contract. ms consultants, Inc., contract compliance number 34-6546916 (expires 7/28/2008), was selected in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was $300,000.00
This modification $217,429.73
The contract amount, including all modifications is $517,429.73

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract for the earliest possible completion of the design to stay on schedule for construction and preserve the safety and welfare of the public.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $20,000.00 are budgeted and available in the Waterworks Enlargement Voted 1991 Bonds Fund and funds in the amount of $197,429.73 are available in the Voted Sanitary Bond Fund.
