Committee authorizes amendment to on-call drainage contract to prepare for spring construction
Summary
Norwalk's Public Works Committee authorized a fourth amendment and delegated order authority on an existing on-call drainage contract with M. Randono Inc. to cover pre-construction drainage work ahead of sidewalk and paving projects, citing active work on Rope Avenue and other priority areas.
Public Works staff explained that the city maintains an on-call drainage contract (DRG2023-3) to address small-area drainage issues and to prepare sites ahead of sidewalk and roadway projects. Jim Meehan (project lead) told the committee the contractor has been reliable and that the amendment is routine under the contract's original terms, with the requested not-to-exceed amount for the fourth amendment cited at $1,124,616.15 and delegated orders up to $112,461.62.
Meehan described current activity on Rope Avenue (including green infrastructure and drainage repairs) and explained that the on-call contract lets staff respond efficiently to small-scope drainage needs that are not practical to bid as standalone construction packages. After questions about prioritization and sediment control, the committee voted unanimously to authorize the amendment and grant the chief of operations authority to execute orders under the contract.
