Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff Michigan, Inc., (PB) for the South State Street Transportation Corridor and Conceptual Engineering Design Project and Appropriate Funds ($65,286.96) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The attached resolution for review and consideration authorizes Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff Michigan, Inc. (PB) for the South State Street Transportation Corridor and Conceptual Engineering Design Project.
In August 2014, the City entered into an agreement with PB for professional engineering and public engagement services for the South State Street Transportation Corridor and Conceptual Engineering Design Project in the amount of $299,911.54 after approval by City Council in June 2014 (Resolution R-14-183). In the course of this project, the City has requested additional work by PB to support a scope that includes conducting further analysis of several sub-alternatives leading to nomination of a preferred alternative and preparing a complete set of conceptual design files for the South State Street Corridor. The original scope of work only included traffic analysis for the “preferred alternative”. In order to complete the project with this additional professional engineering and its associated public engagement services, this amendment is needed which would bring the total services amount with PB to $365,198.50.
The $65,286.96 of additional work is proposed to be funded by the General Fund fund balance as this study has been funded from the General Fund.
