INFORMATION: As the Homestead Road-Chapel Hill High School multi-use path project shifts from construction to close-out, additional Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services are needed associated with project administration. Summit Design and Engineering Services, the consultant firm providing CEI services have prepared an estimate of $14,272 to complete this work. Final costs would reflect actual expenditures, equal to or less than the estimate. NCDOT has reviewed and approved the scope of work and associated rates. Contingency provided in the last capital improvement project ordinance, adopted on June 20, 2018 covers this expense.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: NCDOT has approved Summit’s estimate of $14,272. There are sufficient funds in the project budget to cover this additional cost.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Town Manager to execute a contract amendment with Summit Design and Engineering Services for additional CEI services (Attachment A).
