Official Text
To the Honorable Council:
I respectfully request that your honorable Council approve a time and funding extension of Contract 150308 for design and construction administrative services to the landscape architectural firm of Weston and Sampson, from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2020.
The agreement with Weston Sampson for the design of Lincoln Park was originally signed for three year commencing on January 1,2015. However, as Lincoln Park construction will continue into the summer of 2019 an Weston Sampson Construction 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 December 31,2018, however, as the scope of work and term of construction will require additional time to complete, 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
