To the Honorable City Council:
I respectfully request that your honorable Council approve a time-only extension of Contract # 160471A1 for construction administration services for the Beacon Streetscape project, from April 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
The agreement with Design Consultants for construction administration services for Beacon Street was originally signed for three years commencing on April 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
