Explanation

BACKGROUND. This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton and Tilton, Inc. for the Dry Run Flood Routing at Valleyview Project which is one of the Group 3 Localized Stormwater System Improvements Projects.

This contract modification is necessary to allow payment to Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton and Tilton, Inc. for construction administration and inspection services. These services are typically performed by the Transportation Division; however, due to the specialty type of construction work to be performed it is necessary to have the design consultant perform these services.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION. Emergency designation is requested for this ordinance so that the construction services will not be delayed. Construction administration and inspection services must be in place in order for the construction phase of the project to begin.

FISCAL IMPACT. There are sufficient funds and spending authority available for this expenditure. The new contract amount including this modification is $2,603,927.95.
