Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves the fourth amendment to an agreement between the Metropolitan Government and Adkisson & Associates Architects, Inc. Metro contracts with Adkisson & Associates Architects, Inc. for the provision of design services for the Nashville Fairgrounds. The contract began in November 2016 and was originally for a term of no more than 60 months. This amendment removes the 60 month limitation and instead states that the contract term will end at project completion. No other changes would be made to the contract.
Contracts for supplies or services exceeding sixty months require the approval of Council, pursuant to Sec. 4.12.160 of the Metro Code of Laws.
According to the Fairgrounds, this extension is needed due to unanticipated delays in the construction of the multi-purpose building, which is part of the Fairgrounds Improvement Capital Project. No additional funds are needed to complete the work.
