Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance, as amended, grants the Purchasing Agent the authority to extend the term of contract number 459172 between the Department of Water and Sewerage Services and CDM Smith, Inc. The contract was originally awarded through competitive bid for design services, drawings, construction documents, cost estimates, scheduling services, and construction phase services for reservoir improvements at various Metro sites.
The original contract began on November 12, 2019, with a sixty-month term. Section 4.12.060(A) of the Metropolitan Code limits the term of contracts for services to sixty (60) months, unless otherwise approved by the Metropolitan Council.
If this ordinance is approved, the contract term would end at project completion. The value of the contract would not change through this amendment. The Purchasing Agent and the Department of Water and Sewerage Services recommend that the contract be extended until this project is completed.
An amendment was added at the May 21 Council meeting to correct the attachment.
Fiscal Note: This contract, number 459172, with CDM Smith, Inc. for design services, drawings, construction documents, cost estimates, scheduling services, and construction phase services for reservoir improvements at various Metro sites, as amended, has an estimated contract value of $1,200,000 to be paid from Fund 47410 and Business Unit 65490132.
