Commission reviews contract amendment for Dayton Boulevard ADA upgrades; additional consultant fees to be covered by state funding
Summary
Staff explained a contract amendment increasing consultant costs for the Dayton Boulevard ADA upgrades; $78,548 in additional consultant fees are included in the amendment (raising consultant total to $198,513), and anticipated TDOT/NPO funding of $317,266 is expected to cover the increase.
Director Greg Tate presented a contract amendment for the Dayton Boulevard ADA upgrades project (PIN 130774, Resolution No. 25‑1862) and said a consultant re‑calculation increased project costs. Tate said the consultant’s required amendment totals $78,548 in additional professional‑services fees, which increases the consultant contract to $198,513.
Tate told commissioners the total cost increase for the project amounted to about $164,000, but staff subsequently secured an additional $317,266 in TDOT/NPO funding scheduled for release in January that should cover the increase. He said much of the engineering and design work is already complete and that work should proceed rapidly once the funding is released; construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2026, pending procurement.
Commissioners asked about timing for final engineering and for expected construction start dates. Tate said designs are largely finished and that once payment is made the consultant will finalize remaining design tasks and the project will move forward to procurement and construction.
The resolution before the commission was described as a contract amendment to align the consultant’s contract with the actual consultant fees the city will pay; staff said the additional TDOT/NPO award reduces the city’s net cost exposure.
