Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Miles McClellan Construction Company for project management services.
Ordinance No. 1126-2010, passed July 21, 2010, authorized the original contract for project management services. This contract modification will serve as a blanket contract for City buildings. The requested consulting services are for contract administration and other project management tasks necessary to perform work associated with the renovation and repair of City buildings. The work will be executed on behalf of the Office of Construction Management, in order to meet the operational needs of various departments of the City of Columbus.
Due to the fact that Miles McClellan was awarded the original contract, a modification with Miles McClellan is the logical and most expeditious option for addressing the additional project management services. Involving another firm at this point would likely lead to logistical problems, the possibility of errors, and the need to redesign and reengineer many items already completed. Therefore, it would not be in the best interests of the City to bid the additional project managment services. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Fiscal Impact: A current unencumbered cash balance of $200,000.00 is available from the Gov'l SuperB.A.B.'s (Build America Bonds) Fund, Staff Augmentation.
