Explanation
Background:
This legislation authorizes an amendment to Ordinance No. 1712-2023, passed by City Council June 26, 2023, to allow a correction that authorizes the purchase of food and non-alcoholic beverages for MKSK’s work and pay reasonable contractor and subcontractor travel expenses to develop a comprehensive community plan for the Eastland area. This language was originally included in the Request for Proposal (RFP) and inadvertently omitted from the legislation. This needs to be corrected and to be reflective of the effective date of the contract.
Ordinance No. 1712-2023 authorized the Director of the Department of Neighborhoods, on behalf of the City, to enter into contract with MKSK, to serve as the lead consultant for the development of a comprehensive community plan for the Eastland area. As lead consultant, MKSK is responsible for project management, community engagement, oversight of subcontractors and plan creation.
Emergency action is requested in order to allow for the approval and reimbursement of expenses incurred since the effective date of the contract, and to honor the original intent as laid out in the RFP and prevent MKSK from experiencing financial hardship.
Contract Compliance: The vendor number is 028341 and contract compliance is 10/25/22-10/25/2024.
Fiscal Impact: No additional funding is required to modify this contract.
