Summary

The commission approved two contract amendments with Roe Professional Services — $8,000 for additional NEPA services and $6,000 for design work — increasing the contract to $73,890.45 as staff finalize work required to put the safety project into MDOT bid letting.

City Engineer David Boyle updated the commission on delays to the Easterday Avenue and Meridian Street safety improvement project, citing additional requirements including an archaeological study and extra right‑of‑way work. He said the project is about 18 months behind schedule but has been obligated and will be included in the September bid letting.

Commissioner Rubinstein moved to approve a previously authorized $8,000 contract amendment for additional NEPA services and the motion passed unanimously. Rubinstein then moved to approve an additional $6,000 contract amendment for design services, increasing the contract total to $73,890.45; that motion also passed unanimously. Boyle said grant funding covers portions of the design work but that additional design effort had been required to meet MDOT requirements.
