To the Honorable Council:
I respectfully request that your honorable Council approve a time and funding extension of Contract# 190133 for design and construction administrative services to the construction firm of NELM Corp, from September 3, 2021 to September 30, 2023.
The agreement with NELM Corp. for the construction of Prospect Hill Park was originally signed for a period of three years commencing on October 1, 2018. However, Covid related construction delays and the fact that the plant establishment maintenance work to be performed by the contractor will extend through Fall 2023, we are requesting to extend the contract term through December 21, 2023.
This maintenance scope is already funded in the existing contract and no additional appropriation is needed to fund this extension at this time.
It is my understanding that according to M.G.L. c30B s. 12 and Section2-369 of the Somerville Code, which was amended by Somerville Ordinance #2005-1, we may not award or extend any contract term beyond three years without The City Council approval.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
