Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with ms consultants, inc. for the Gay Street traffic Calming General Engineering project. This project is being designed to convert Gay Street to two way operation from Front Street to Cleveland Avenue. This modification provides for design of irrigation, additional public involvement, coordination with various private developments, and additional curb and walk replacement. 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. Hourly rates, overhead rate and the percent profit are based on the original contract. 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 $300,000.00
Modification #1 was $217,429.73
This modification $100,000.00
The contract amount, including all modifications is $617,429.73

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 $100,000.00 are budgeted and available in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and highways fund.
