Requesting approval of a contract extension for the KZLA Architects construction administration contract for services at Prospect Hill Park.

Official Text

To the Honorable Council:

 

I respectfully request that your honorable Council approve a time and funding extension of contract# 180129 for design and construction administrative services to the landscape architectural firm of , KZLA from September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

 

The agreement with KZLA for the design of Prospect Hill Park  was originally signed for three year commencing on October 1,2017.  However, as the Prospect Hill construction will continued into the Fall  of 2020 KZLA construction admin services will be needed until after the date of final completion, we would like to increase the funding for CA services, and extend the contract term until December 31, 2020.

The contract was previously extended until September 30,2020, however, due to the Covid-19 construction moratorium, we are now requesting this contract extension and to allow that work to go forward. No additional appropriation is need 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
