Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the contract with Gutknecht Construction Co. for the construction of the Hard Road Maintenance Facility Project. This additional funding is necessary to complete the project due to the discovery of unstable sub-soils that were not suitable for construction. The soil was excavated and replaced with appropriate stable soil. The funds are also needed due to a delay in the building plan approval process as well additional utility fees that were unexpected at the time of bidding.
Emergency Justification:
An emergency exists in the usual daily operations of the Recreation and Parks Department in that it is immediately necessary to enter into said contract so that work may continue on the current schedule.
Fiscal Impact:
The expenditure of $1,800,000.00 was legislated for the Hard Road Maintenance Facility Project by Ordinance 2101-2013. This ordinance will provide funding that will modify the previously authorized amount by $180,000.00. $180,000.00 is budgeted and available in the Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund 702 to meet the financial obligations of this contract modification. The aggregate total contract amount, including this modification, is $1,980,000.00. This ordinance is contingent upon ordinance #1694-2015.
