Council delays vote on Burns & McDonnell Phase 2 services to add contract details
Summary
A proposed professional services agreement with Burns & McDonnell for Phase 2 construction administration of the Rethink Maguire project was discussed; Councilmember Jones said the contract lacked references to the city's emerging contaminants grant and recommended attaching Phase 2 construction plans, and the second reading was delayed.
Public Works Director Adlich described a proposed master services agreement with Burns & McDonnell Co., Inc. for Phase 2 construction administration and observation services for the Rethink Maguire project. Adlich noted Burns & McDonnell worked on prior phases; Phase 2 design is largely finished and the contract would finalize construction management.
Councilmember Jones raised a substantive concern: "there was no contract language that referenced the emerging contaminants grant or the location of North Street to Emerson." Jones suggested attaching Phase 2 construction plans to the ordinance to clarify scope, and the council did not grant unanimous consent to proceed; the second reading was deferred to the next meeting for further documentation and contract clarification.
