Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract modification with Woolpert, Inc., in the amount of up to $122,626.59 for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Parsons Avenue - Franklin Avenue to Broad Street.
The contract modification is necessary as original contract did not include design funds for the preliminary engineering study elements, funds for the waterline design and additional coordination meetings required to complete the detailed design.
This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and it would not be practical or cost effective to the City to contract with a different consultant.
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Woolpert, Inc.
2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
The contract compliance number for Woolpert, Inc. is 201391406 and expires 6/6/15.
3. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $122,626.59 are available for this project within the Streets and Highways Bond Fund and the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund within the Department of Public Service and Department of Public Utilities.
4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
The department requests emergency designation so as to provide necessary engineering and design funding and prevent unnecessary delays in the Department of Public Service's Capital Improvement Program.
