STRATEGIC FOCUS AREA

Financially Responsible

Supportive, Sustainable Infrastructure

BACKGROUND

The Bridge Street Widening Design Services project is to design Bridge Street from 27^th Avenue to 42^nd Avenue and includes all the transportation infrastructure such as traffic signals, pavements, and sidewalks, as well as the right-of-way documents to purchase real property for the improvements. The project design was completed and solicited for construction, with a construction contract awarded on June 6, 2023. Following design, the consultant has been requested to perform post-design services to facilitate the construction project, including tasks such as project inspections, documentation, facilitating correspondence, assisting with project management, submittal reviews, and final project closeout.  The original scope of work of post-design services was not included in the original scope as there was not a construction contract in place and those services were not necessary until construction was planned to commence.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

Sufficient appropriation exists for the Bridge Street Widening Design Services project and Contract Amendment #4.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

The Finance Department, in conjunction with the Public Works Department, recommends the approval of Contract Amendment #4 in the amount of Six Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Five Dollars ($635,445.00) to JR Engineering, LLC.

2.                     Deny the Contract Amendment.
