Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase a professional engineering services contract with American Structurepoint Inc. for the Department of Public Service Arterial Street Rehabilitation - James Road (CIP No. 530103-100014) project. This is the third modification to the original contract.
The Department of Public Utilities holds the original contract with American Structurepoint Inc. for their James Road Water Line Improvements Project, Division of Power and Water Contract No. 1161 (ordinance 0056-2011). Because a Department of Public Service project footprint overlapped with a Department of Public Utilities’ project footprint, and American Structurepoint Inc. had a portion of the design already completed, and the Department of Public Service and the Department of Public Utilities plan to bid the construction as one project, the Department of Public Service requested and received approval to modify American Structurepoint Inc.’s contract.
The Department of Public Service is modifying the contract to accommodate neighborhood and area commission recommendations. Because American Structurepoint already has data necessary for the completion of the work at the intersection of James Avenue and Livingston Avenue, it would not be cost efficient to advertise and procure new design services.
The scope of work in this contract modification includes, but is not limited to, redesigning of James Road (North of Livingston Avenue to Main Street) storm sewers, waterlines, full depth pavement replacements, curbs, sidewalk and ADA curb ramps, BMP design, replacement of a signal at Astor, and ADA improvements at the intersection of Main Street.
