Requested Action
Consider a Resolution approving an amendment to the contract for design services with Jerry Parche Consulting Engineers for the Mouser Way Improvement Project for an amount not to exceed $27,570.00.
Recommendation
The Engineering Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
Description/History
The original contract with Jerry Parche Consulting Engineers was approved on April 13, 2015 with Resolution 3087-15, to design paving, water and sewer for the Mouser Way Improvement project in the amount of $168,100.00. A request was made by MEDC and Mouser Electronics to fast-track the first 350 feet of Mouser Way to provide for more immediate access to the Mouser expansion improvements. This necessitated creating two separate sets of bid documents and incorporating the field changes made by Mouser's expansion. The Phase 1 project is currently under construction. Phase 2 should be ready to bid this November.
In addition to the fast-track design, Jerry Parche was also asked to reevaluate and revise the flood study of Watson Branch due to new NCTCOG topographic data that had been provided since the initial report was submitted.
Justification
This additional design work was needed to accommodate Mouser's expansion and bidding the project in two phases and incorporate more accurate data in the flood study.
The Director of Public Works will be in attendance at the meeting to answer Council’s questions regarding the proposed funding and contracts.
