Body
Whereas, the City desired to accept federal funding of $750,000.00 that was subsequently appropriated towards the Tienken bridge reconstruction after the initial design services contract was awarded; and
Whereas, the City was obligated to prepare the design plans and follow the typical review and design plan letting process in accordance with a Michigan Department of Transportation format by accepting the federal funds; and
Whereas, submittal of the design plans to MDOT resulted in a review that mandated changes in the final design of the supporting bridge structure to consist of a system of battered piles in lieu of the drilled piers that were shown on the plans; and
Whereas, due to RCOC providing construction engineering services for the project, the plans had to be further refined to be in compliance with RCOC's standards;
Whereas, HRC is requesting payment in the amount of $13,481.06 to cover the cost overruns created by MDOT's and RCOC's requests
Resolved that the Rochester Hills City Council amend and increase the current contract by $13, 481.06 for Professional Services between Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc., and the City of Rochester Hills for the Tienken Road and Kings Cove Intersection-Traffic Signal and Bridge Project for a new amount not-to-exceed total of $316,321.06 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a contract on behalf of the City.
