Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to install a pathway for pedestrians and bicycle use and incorporate public art, landscaping, and neighborhood access points along the Grand Canal between 47th and 75th avenues.
This amendment is necessary because additional design services are needed for retrofitting pedestrian crossings that are located on top of existing bridge decks or approach slabs for neighborhood connections in the corridor. This amendment will provide additional time and funds to the agreement.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement amendment is 200 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.
Financial Impact
- The initial agreement for Engineering Services was approved for an amount not to exceed $600,000, including all subconsultant and reimbursable costs.
- This amendment will increase the agreement by an additional $50,000, for a new total amount not to exceed $650,000, including all subconsultant and reimbursable costs.
Funding for this amendment is available in the Street Transportation Department's Capital Improvement Program budget.
