Council presented with $255,000 bond amendment and $91,500 inspection-fee increase for North–South–East–West interconnect project
Summary
Engineering staff briefed the council on a request to amend bond and authorization to add $255,000 to cover increased construction costs for the North–South–East–West interconnect project and to increase a construction inspection agreement by $91,500. CHIPS funds were cited to cover part of the increase.
City engineering staff told the Syracuse City Council that the North–South–East–West interconnect federal-aid project requires an amendment to bond authorizations adding $255,000 to cover increased construction costs and that staff seeks authorization to increase the construction-inspection contract with Bergman by $91,500.
John Kibeland of the Department of Engineering said construction is running longer than anticipated and costs have increased during construction. He said most costs are reimbursable and that the $255,000 portion will be covered using CHIPS funds.
Councilors asked whether the additional costs were within the request; staff confirmed the inspection-fee increase is within the $255,000 bond amendment. No formal vote on the requested amendments or the inspection contract increase was recorded in the provided transcript segment.
