On March 2, 2010, per City Council Resolution 2010-28, Harris & Associates,
Inc. entered into an agreement ("the Agreement") with the City in the amount of
$299,814 to provide civil engineering services for the National City 8th Street
Smart Growth Revitalization Project from the Trolley Station to D Avenue.
On February 15, 2011, per City Council Resolution 2011-32, the First
Amendment to the Agreement was executed in the amount of $211,446 to
include preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for the 8th Street Safe
Routes to School Project from D Avenue to Highland Avenue, which serves as
an extension of the 8th Street Smart Growth Revitalization Project.
Prior to completing said projects, the overhead utilities on 8th Street between
National City Boulevard and Highland Avenue are scheduled for undergrounding.
As part of the scope of services, Harris & Associates prepared construction plans
for the utility undergrounding based on SDG&E's base design. Two weeks prior
to finalizing the construction plans, SDG&E provided significant design changes
to their drawings, which will result in revisions to both the final utility
undergrounding construction plans and streetscape enhancement plans.
The total cost to revise the plan sets as provided by Harris & Associates is
$64,901 per the attached Second Amendment.
In order to minimize further impacts to the project schedule and meet the grant
requirements, staff recommends execution of a Second Amendment to the
Agreement with Harris & Associates, Inc. for a not -to -exceed amount of $64,901
to include additional design services for the 8th Street Smart Growth
Revitalization Project resulting from SDG&E's changes to their 8th Street Rule
20A Utility Undergrounding design and corresponding revisions to the project
schedule and scope.
