Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the contract with Korda/ Nemeth Engineering, Inc. for engineering services for the design of the Camp Chase Rail Trail. This additional funding is necessary to render services in order to produce alternative stormwater compliance management plans and specifications in the design of this new section of the Camp Chase Railroad Trail. The engineer encountered unexpected challenges in the design of the stormwater management plans due to the limited available space that was adjacent to the pavement for containment of stormwater.
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 these additional services can be completed within 60 days.
Fiscal Impact:
The expenditure of $313,420.00 was legislated for the Camp Chase Rail Trail Project by Ordinance 0483-2013. The resulting contract was modified by Ordinance 2741-2013 in the amount of $319,117.00. This ordinance will provide funding that will modify the previously authorized amount by $62,273.29. Funding 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 $694,810.29. This ordinance is contingent upon ordinance #1694-2015.
