Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract for the Bikeway Development - General Engineering Design contract with Korda/Nemeth Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $123,577.00.
This contract has been used for various projects that spent down the total value. The intent of this contract was to provide the Department of Public Service with continuing, contractual access to additional resources that are necessary to perform various professional engineering, survey, and technical expertise for the department to complete its capital and operating budget commitments.
The projects developed under this program are typically small to moderate size improvements, and frequently include a significant emphasis on bikeway needs and related aesthetic improvements. This contract has been used for quick response design services.
Work to be performed under this contract modification includes, but is not limited to, providing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) services for the SR-161 Shared Use Path project. Completion of NEPA documentation is required by the Federal Highway Administration for the use of Transportation Alternatives Program funding.
All current design work for the SR-161 Shared Use Path project has been performed by Korda/Nemeth Engineering, Inc. and procuring new design services would not be economical and would delay the project.
Original contract amount: $500,000.00 (Ord. 1355-2010, EL011147)
Modification 1 amount: $123,577.00
