Explanation

BACKGROUND. This legislation authorizes modifying the contract for professional engineering services with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton, Inc. for one of the Group 3 Stormwater System Improvements Projects. This project is the McKinley Avenue Stormwater System Improvements Project.

This contract modification is necessary to allow payment for additional engineering services that are beyond the original contract scope. It was determined during the initial stage of the contract that the existing outlet storm sewers were of insufficient size to accommodate a five-year (design standard) storm event within the project area. Additional off-site storm sewers are required to provide sufficient capacity.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION. Emergency designation is requested for this ordinance so that this additional work can be incorporated into the project plans without delaying the proposed construction schedule.
