BACKGROUND:
On October 3, 2023, the Mayor and City Council awarded the Phase II Engineering Services contract for the Farrell Road over Spring Creek Bridge improvement project to Hutchison Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $122,475.00. Subsequently, Amendments No. 1 and 2 were approved by the Mayor and City Council.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Amendment No. 3, an addition in the amount of $15,000.00, is for additional work required by Hutchison Engineering, including final plan revisions and administrative tasks. The amendment also includes additional work required by sub-consultant Santa Cruz Land Acquisitions for property appraisals, appraisal review, and negotiations for easements and right-of-way acquisitions. These additional services are the result of unforeseen challenges and scope changes in order to obtain Phase II right-of-way certification from IDOT in order to meet an anticipated project letting in fall of 2026.
Sufficient funds are available in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund / Farrell Road Bridge (Org 20090270, Object 557200, $15,000.00).
