Explanation
The Grant Surgery Center project involves the construction of a $59 million, five-story, 175,000 square foot surgery pavilion and heart hospital with multiple connections to the existing Grant Medical Center. This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a $350,000.00 Guaranteed Maximum Cost Agreement with Grant/Riverside Methodist Hospitals Corporation for the construction of streetscape improvements on Sixth Street, Town Street, State Street and Grant Avenue adjacent to the Grant Surgery Center project located at 300 East Town Street, which is the northeast corner of Sixth and Town Streets. Streetscape improvements include construction of new concrete sidewalks, granite curbs, street trees and street lighting. These improvements will greatly enhance the appearance of the pedestrian environment. The Development Department has identified and negotiated this Agreement and the Public Service Department will enter into contract and administer the Agreement. More detailed descriptions are contained on the attached document. The formal competitive bidding requirements of Chapter 329 of the City Code are being waived for the procurement of engineering and construction services pursuant to this Guaranteed Maximum Cost Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT: This expense is budgeted within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Downtown Streetscapes Improvement project.
