Hines, CMC, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Commission <br /> <br />Rick Conner, Acting City Manager(u <br />February 19, 2009 <br /> <br />Approval of the First Amendment to the Agreement with Southeastern <br />Engineering Contractors <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the First Amendment to Agreement with <br />Southeastern Engineering Contractors to increase the original amount of $80,062.96 to <br />$84,557.45, an increase of $4,494.49. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The City entered into a contact with Southeastern Engineering Contractors to construct the <br />Central Island Drainage Project. After receiving quotes from other companies, the Commission <br />extended that contract to include the retaining wall at Oceania Park. The Contractor, in good <br />faith, proceeded with the design as originally established at our insistence in an attempt to meet a <br />January 1 deadline. Because of design questions raised by the Building Department at a pre-pour <br />inspection, the work had to be postponed and the contractor experienced true out-of-pocket <br />expenses. It is the staffs belief that these expenses should be initially bourn by the City, with <br />the possibility of eventually recovering some of these costs. It should be remembered that this <br />contractor was approximately $30,000 below the next lowest bid and has worked diligently to <br />provide this product. <br /> <br />REASONS <br /> <br />Approving this amendment to the contract will allow us to properly pay this contractor for work <br />ordered. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />Funding is currently available in Capital Accounts 20-600-5673. <br /> <br /> <br />Funding available: <br /> <br /> <br />\0 <br />2-\Q-09_ <br /> <br />Approval: <br /> <br />Agenda Item No.: <br /> <br />Finance Department <br /> <br />City ,\[anager <br /> <br />Cover Memo Amendment 1 Southeastern Engineering <br /> <br />Commission Meeting Date: <br />
