Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with ms consultants, inc. for the High Street Neighborhood Commericial Revitilization project. This project is being designed to construct a streetscape for North High Street from Lane Avenue to Arcadia Avenue. This modification provides funding for anaylsis of additional alternatives for the sewer separation outfall work included with this project in a previous modification. This modification also provides for water line work for the Division of Power and Water. 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. Current hourly rates, the overhead rate and the percentage of profit that were negotiated at the beginning of this project were used to determine the amount of this modification. 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 $254,083.00
The total of all prior modifications is $1,296,855.96
The total of Modification No. 3 is $90,718.35
The contract amount, including all modifications is $1,641,657.31

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 $70,718.35 are budgeted and available in the Voted Sanitary Bond Fund and funds in the amount of $20,000.00 are available in the Waterworks Enlargement Voted 1991 Bonds Fund .
