Explanation
Background: 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 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 we can move forward as quickly as possible.
Burgess and Niple, Inc. was originally contracted by the City in 2013, Ordinance 2128-2013, contract amount of $142,000.00 for services to prepare plans, specifications, bidding docs and VAP reporting/documentation for the remediation of the soils in Saunders Park. A second modification to that contract took place in Oct. 2014, Ordinance No. 2343-2014; contract amount of $289,000.00. This allowed for additional services to be added including engineering, project oversight/management, OEPA coordination and additional VAP reporting and documentation. In an effort to keep the project moving forward, Burgess and Niple, Inc. expanded their scope of services to provide additional design, bid package material, engineering services during construction, providing information for the City Attorney’s Office for OEPA, Hexion and USEPA and No Further Action review information.
The modification will increase the current cost of the project of $451,000.00 by adding $80,000.00 for a new project total of $531,000.00.
