To the Honorable City Council:
I respectfully request that your honorable Council approve a time-only extension of Contract # MADoT-90025 for construction services for the Beacon Streetscape project, from November 17, 2018 to December 31, 2019.
The agreement with Newport Construction and MADoT for the Beacon Street construction was originally signed for three years commencing on November 1, 2015. However; construction is now expected to be completed in the summer of 2019. Therefore, an additional extension to December 31, 2019 is required.
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
