Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to modify the design contract with Dynotec, Inc., in the amount of $15,000.00 for the Group 9 Intersection Improvements - Hamilton Road at Livingston Avenue project. This project adds a right turn lane to all four legs of the intersection. This contract modification is necessary to separate this intersection from the original plans in order for it to be bid as a separate project in 2005, and to revise curb ramp designs and pavement markings to conform to current ADA specifications. This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed. Therefore, it would not be practical to contract with a different consultant. Current hourly rates, the overhead rate and the percentage of profit that were negotiated at the beginning of this project were used to determine the amount of this modification. Dynotec, Inc., contract compliance # 31-1319961 (expires July 15, 2005), was selected in 1996 in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.
The original contract amount was for $190,510.00. The total cost of the contract with this modification is $205,510.00.
Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract for the earliest possible completion of the design to stay on schedule.
Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $550,000 for the Group 9 Intersection Improvements project in the 2004 Capital Improvement Budget. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $15,000.00. The remaining funds will be used for right-of-way acquisition and utilities relocation.
