AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date:           August 28, 2006

From:                          Lora B. Hollingsworth, P.E., City Engineer/Public Works Director

Subject:                      Resolution approving Amendment No. 2 to the tasks within the Tav-Lee Trail Phase II PD&E contract with Inwood Consulting Engineers

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of a resolution authorizing execution of Amendment No. 2 to the contract with Inwood Consulting Engineers allowing for a redistribution of task amounts in the Tav-Lee Trail Phase II PD&E contract. 

Analysis:

The Florida Department of Transportation funded this project and the City of Leesburg hired Inwood Consulting Engineers to perform a Project Development & Environmental (PD&E) Study for the Tav-Lee Trail Phase II trail alignment.  .  The lump sum fee, made up of several components, is $199,417.39.  The actual effort expended by the consultant and the sub-consultants has varied from the initial estimates, with the primary consultant performing a greater part of the work.  FDOT requires a change to the contract to make this adjustment, although the lump sum fee is not affected.

Options:

1.  Approve the resolution authorizing execution of Amendment No. 2 to the Contract, or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
