Council approves $55,557.78 fee amendment to Moore Engineering for extended construction administration
Summary
Council approved a $55,557.78 fee amendment to Moore Engineering related to construction administration for Improvement 2405 (Hawkins Drive; Ronald/Joseph Alley) after staff said the original contract assumed a short 23 working-day administration period and schedule changes extended the work.
Council approved a fee amendment totaling $55,557.78 to Moore Engineering for extended construction administration on Improvement 2405 (Hawkins Drive and Ronald/Joseph Alley).
Staff said Moore’s original proposal assumed 23 working days of construction administration, but changes to the project schedule — including adding galvanized water service lines — pushed the contract completion date and increased engineering time. Staff reviewed the original contract language (which showed 236 working hours) and recommended the amendment, noting Moore’s price had been lower than other proposers at bid time.
Council members discussed whether missed notice postings or additional consultant tasks contributed to the extra time; staff said some of the administrative burden stemmed from the improvement hearing notification process and schedule changes. A motion to approve the amendment was moved, seconded and carried.
With the amendment, Moore’s contract totals $135,557.78 for the project’s construction administration work; staff said remaining punch-list items are being closed out.
