Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to renew a professional services contract with Hill International, Inc., and to add additional funds for the Roadway Improvements - Materials Testing and Inspection contract.
Ordinance 0771-2016 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Hill International, Inc., for the Roadway Improvements - Materials Testing and Inspection project. The intent of the contract was to provide the Department of Public Service with continuing, contractual access to additional resources that are necessary to provide construction inspection services and materials testing expertise to complete its construction projects. The initial term of the contract was for two years, starting 4/29/16, with renewals allowing the contract to be extended an additional three years.
Ordinance 1056-2017 authorized the Director of Public Service to renew the contract and add funds in the amount of $435,000.00 for year two of the contract.
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to renew the contract and add funds in the amount of $113,000.00 to fund services expected to be needed for projects in year three of the contract. This is a planned renewal that is necessary to continue testing and inspection for the Roadway Improvements - Short North SID - High Street Improvements Phase 2 and Phase 3 roadway projects currently in construction. It was deemed to be more cost efficient to renew the existing contract than to bid this part of the contract.
