Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with RW Setterlin Building Company for the construction of a new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station at 2333 Morse Road.
A modification of the contract is necessary to provide funding for the fiber optic infrastructure. The fiber optic infrastructure will allow for high speed connection for security cameras, site access, and network connectivity. The cost of the fiber infrastructure was included in the overall budget of the project but was not included in the original construction contract. The work has already been performed under the original construction contingency. The remaining contingency needs to be increased to allow for additional changes that may occur at the end of the project.
It is practical and cost effective for coordination and continuity to modify this contract with RW Setterlin. It would not be in the best interests of the City to go with another vendor. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested so the necessary construction of the compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling facility can occur, thereby expanding the use of alternative fueled vehicles resulting in cost savings to the City.
RW Setterlin Building Company Contract Compliance No. 31-0836188, expiration date November 29, 2014.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $60,849.00. Funding is available in the Fleet Capital Improvement Fund.
