Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the Brick Rehabilitation - Pearl Street-Short North Brick Rehabilitation contract (Capital Improvement Project No. 530105-100002) in the amount of $130,000.00 and to establish funds for construction administration and inspection in the amount of $15,000.00.
Ordinance 1422-2011 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a construction contract for this project with Thompson Excavation, LTD. The scope of the project was the reconstruction of the brick pavement on Pearl Street from Russell Street to Warren Street and from Hubbard Avenue to Prescott Street.
Following the beginning of construction of this project, the Departments of Public Service and Development began working with Developers of a new mixed use project called ‘The Hub’, which is located on the corner of Hubbard and High Streets. Due to the timing of their private construction project and the proximity to Pearl Street from Hubbard to Prescott Place, the Department of Public Service elected to non-perform some work in the original contract. All other work in the original contract has been completed.
Subsequently, Ordinance 1249-2012 authorized the Department of Public Service to change the scope of the contract to utilize funds from the non-performed items for reconstruction of the brick pavement, new sidewalk, sidewalk rehabilitation, and construction of ADA ramps on Elm Street between North Front Street and Wall Street. All newly scoped work has been completed.
The Hub mixed use development project has now progressed to the point where it is now possible for the reconstruction of Pearl Street from Hubbard to Prescott Place to occur without construction conflicts or the likelihood of damage to the reconstructed street.
Original contract amount: $599,919.21 (Ordinance 1422-2011, EL012179)
