Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with ms consultants, inc. for the Morse Road Project. This project is being designed to encourage redevelopment and stabilize a vibrant community. This project includes the addition of a landscaped median, curb and gutter drainage, street side trees, sidewalks, bike lanes, streetlights and signal system upgrades as prescribed by the Morse Road Design Study adopted by Council on December 11, 2000. This will improve the aesthetics of the corridor, encourage the flow of vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic and invite redevelopment.

This contract modification is necessary to revise the Morse Road Project Phase 2 plans to modify Right-of-Way plans to accommodate changes required by Right-of-Way negotiations, to redesign the sewer at the corner of Cleveland Avenue at Morse Road to coordinate with a recently constructed storm sewer project in that area and to redesign the intersection of Morse Road and Tamarack Boulevard to accommodate changes in development plans at that site.

This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and it would not be practical to contract with a different consultant.

ms consultants, inc. CC #34-6546916 (expiring 7/29/08), was selected in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

We have negotiated new hourly rates for this modification because the current contract is 6 years old. The overhead rate and percentage of profit from the original contract were used because they are still valid.

The original contract amount was $965,000.00. The total of all prior modifications is $2,605,995.45. The total of this Modification No. 3 is $162,803.24. The contract amount, including all modifications is $3,710,996.71.

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract for the earliest possible completion of ...
