Discussion:
‘,4
Construction of public improvements within Assessment District 2004-02 (Section 29) has
been proceeding in a timely manner and is ahead of schedule by several months. Part of
the reason for this has been the rapid response to design and construction issues by the
original engineering design firm of MSA Consulting, Inc.
The design work originally undertaken for the Assessment District was provided by MSA
under contract with Ponderosa Homes, one of the primary beneficiaries of the District
improvements. As construction has progressed, a number of design modifications have
been necessary in order to accommodate unanticipated field conditions as well as City -
directed changes. These activities have been undertaken by MSA without benefit of
contractual support.
Given the need for continued engineering support through project completion, staff
recommends that City Council authorize the Public Works Department to enter into an
agreement with MSA Consulting, Inc., to provide such support to this project, and
authorize the Mayor to execute a not -to -exceed agreement in the amount of $48,000.00.
