Explanation
This legislation is to modify and increase the construction contract with Complete General Construction Company for the Sancus Boulevard Improvement - Phase I project in an amount up to $340,226.34. The project limits are Sancus Boulevard from Lazelle Road to Polaris Parkway. The construction included widening the pavement to five lanes, signalization work and new curbs, sidewalks, and street lighting. This contract is to be modified to account for increases in the cost of construction of curb ramps since the contractor bid the project before more stringent ramp construction standards began to be enforced by the City. Other elements of the modification are due to delays caused by coordination with private utilities within the project limits and new commercial construction that required revision of the plans even as the design was underway. Prices were obtained by negotiations with Complete General Construction Company using past project prices for new items and established unit prices for overruns of existing quantities. Modifications on this project total 10.7 percent of the original contract amount. The original contract amount was $3,179,198.55. The total of this and all modifications is $340,226.34. The contract amount including all modifications is $3,519,424.89. Complete General Construction Company's contract compliance number is 31-4366382; expiring April 5, 2005.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance appropriates $340,226.34 within the Special Income Tax Fund and then transfers this amount to the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This Special Income Tax Fund certification is a temporary measure until the City sells notes or bonds to fund this capital improvement and is necessary because the Transportation Division has exhausted all cash in its Voted Fund.

Emergency action is requested to provide for expeditious project completion and closeout.
