FISCAL NOTES:

Funding Source: 310-6450-58010 New Harbor GO 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Contract Amendment with R & M Consultants, Inc. to the Planning and Feasibility for, and Design of Comprehensive Municipal Harbor Facilities Contract No. 1085 in the Amount of $233,373.00.
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Previous R&M contract amendments for the New Harbor were based on the Contractor’s schedule and slated to be complete 12/31/18. The project duration has exceeded the Contractor’s baseline schedule and added duration necessitates extending R&M’s support contract. To date R&M has efficiently utilized their resources and performed tasks beyond the contract scope within the existing budget. There is some margin of error included in this amendment for close-out and potential further delays. Should the schedule or required services significantly change another amendment may be required in the future.
This cost will be offset by savings realized during the Corps of Engineers close-out and the overall advertised budget of $82.6M remains unchanged. The completion dates within the construction contract remain unchanged.
