Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the contract with Burgess & Niple, Inc. for additional services to prepare plans, specifications, bidding documents and Voluntary Action Plan (VAP) documentation for the remediation of the contaminated soil at Saunders Park. It will be more time-efficient and cost-effective to keep the current engineering team in place so that the department can move forward as quickly as possible. The modification will increase the original cost of the project of $142,000.00 by adding $289,000.00 and a contingency of $20,000.00 for a new project total of $451,000.00.

Emergency Justification:
An emergency exists in the usual daily operations of the Recreation and Parks Department in that it is immediately necessary to modify said contract so that the project can stay on schedule and the contaminated area remediated as soon as possible.

Project funding is budgeted and available in the Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund 702 to meet the financial obligations of this contract modification.
