Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for a professional services engineering contract for the Alkire Road-Holt Road Intersection Improvements project with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (formerly R. D. Zande & Associates, Inc.) in the amount of $94,707.00. A professional services contract for engineering is needed to assure timely completion of the design as the Transportation Division does not maintain adequate staff or all of the various disciplines necessary to complete such design in house.

No contract with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (formerly R. D. Zande & Associates, Inc.) exists for this project. The design of this project originated as private work contracted by Dominion Homes, Inc., to fulfill mandatory infrastructure improvements in the public right-of-way. During the City review process, it was found that City design standards and specifications required extensions of the scope of work beyond what was required of the developer when the project was originally approved. The most prominent of these requirements were the addition of turn lanes and the modification of curb ramps to conform to current standards. The private design work, much of which has been performed, became a public improvement beyond the original scope of improvements required by City zoning procedures.

The purpose of the proposed legislation is to authorize a contract, in order to reimburse Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (formerly R. D. Zande & Associates, Inc.), for design work already performed, and for some work that is still proposed. Dominion Homes, Inc., has deposited a share of the necessary funds for the design in an escrow account administered by the City.

This ordinance also authorizes the Public Service Director to accept name and Federal Identification number changes of R.D. Zande & Associates, Inc. and the assignment of all their present and future ...
