Title
First Amendment to the Contract for Sidewalk Construction/Replacement Services (B)
This item involves an amendment to the contract for sidewalk construction/replacement services with JoyTech Construction, Inc.
Explanation
The current annual services contract for sidewalk construction/replacement services is with JoyTech Construction, Inc. Over the past year, costs for concrete, steel and petroleum products have increased substantially. Due to this increase in cost, the original unit bid prices have increased approximately twenty-five percent (25%). This Amendment will allow us to accommodate this cost increase by revising the original agreement to allow for a price increase prior to the second annual extension and will incorporate the revised fee schedule.
Fiscal Note
Funding sources will be identified as needed from the City capital project budgets. The Public Works Department anticipates the cost of the contract for the next year to be approximately $200,000.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Contract with JoyTech Construction, Inc., for Sidewalk Construction/Replacement Services.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission deny the recommendation for the First Amendment and direct the City Manager to secure the services of individual firms on a project-by-project basis. This would result in project delays and additional administrative costs for both projects and routine tasks that require these services.
Alternative Recommendation B: The City Commission deny the recommendation for the First Amendment and direct the City Manager to initiate advertising for new bids for the construction of sidewalks and other related concrete roadway facilities. This would result in project delays and additional administrative costs for both projects and routine tasks that require these services.
