Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify an existing contract with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns & DeHaven, Inc. DBA GPD Group to provide professional services associated with the Whetstone Field Improvements - Design Project. The modification amount being authorized by this ordinance is $210,000.00.
The additional proposed improvements are part of the Whetstone Park Sports Field Improvements project and will be included as its own complete set of construction documents. An assessment has been completed for the casting pond and adjacent shelter to determine the needed improvements for those portions of the park which are adjacent to the sports field project. This modification was planned, but were not included as part of the original contract until the assessment was completed and the necessary improvements were identified.
This part of the project involves the restoration of the existing casting pond at Whetstone Park, stream modifications, and a hydraulic analysis of the 398 linear feet of an existing channel. The modification also includes designs for a culvert repair and replacement of the existing shelter by the pond. The project location is between the two sports fields that were included in the original contract, which will allow for an overlap of construction for the two phases. Fees were determined by anticipating hours and applying costs already established by the original contract.
