Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with ms consultants, inc. to add additional funds for design of the Signals - Summit Street - Warren Street to E. 7th Avenue project.
Ordinance 1919-2020 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with ms consultants, inc. for the Signals - Summit Street - Warren Street to E. 7th Avenue project. The intent of this project is to provide the Department of Public Service with a design to replace and upgrade the existing traffic signals to current standards along Summit Street from Warren Street to E. 7th Avenue.
Ordinance 2390-2021 authorized the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $35,191.79 to cover the cost of design for bumpouts at three intersections within the project corridor. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $65,000.
This is an unplanned modification that is necessary to cover the cost of facilities needed to be relocated in in order to obtain the required clearances from the proposed signal poles at those intersections. These were originally in the scope but that extent of the relocations necessary was unknown at the time of scoping and the original funding has been exhausted. It was deemed to be more cost efficient to modify the existing contract than to bid this part of the work.
The original contract amount: $508,280.97 (PO241852, Ord. 1919-2020)
The total of Modification No. 1: $ 35,191.79 (PO295463, Ord. 2390-2021)
The total of Modification No. 1: $ 65,000.00 (This Ordinance)
The contract amount including all modifications: $608,472.76
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against ms consultants, inc.
