Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves the second amendment to a contract between the Metropolitan Government and KCI Technologies, Inc. for Jefferson Street intersection improvements.
Metro entered into a contract with KCI Technologies, Inc. for professional surveying and engineering services for the construction of intersections along Jefferson Street on or about August 13, 2018. The contract expired on August 13, 2023. The project has not yet been completed, but an open purchase order has allowed KCI Technologies, Inc. to continue working on the contract past the expiration date. The parties wish to amend the prior contract to increase the contract value and replace exhibits related to pricing information, the project schedule, and the project narrative. This amended contract will exceed a period of 60 months which, pursuant to Metropolitan Code of Laws Section 4.12.160.B, requires approval of Council.
The amendment provides that the contract term “will end at project completion.” The estimated contract value would be increased by $234,307.51, for a revised estimated contract total of $444,307.51. Exhibits related to pricing information, the project schedule, and the project narrative would be amended to reflect these changes.
