SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 25-16 - BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR CITY PROJECT NOS. 7228 AND 7230
Background:
In November 2020, City Council awarded an $169,981.31 agreement to FCG Consultants (“FCG”) for Construction Management and Inspection Services for Project No 7228.
Simultaneously, FCG was also awarded a $95,815.72 agreement for Construction Management and Inspection Services for Project No. 7230. FCG was ranked number one for both projects based upon the firm’s experience of working on similar fiber optic signal coordination projects for neighboring cities.
The agreement with FCG began in January 2020 and continued through September 2020 in accordance with project construction schedules. FCG provided services for both projects, however, discrepancies were found between amounts billed and services provided. As a result, payment processing times were delayed in order to reconcile between services provide and amounts billed. Outstanding invoices remained unpaid.
A claim was brought forward to the City relating to the invoices provided by FCG. Following a review of the circumstances and discussion between parties, a resolution has been reached that is considered fair and appropriate under the circumstances.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost for outstanding invoices is $290,000. The Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget has enough funds in Street Renovation Funds to cover cost, but a budget amendment is required to allocate Street Renovation Funds to Project Nos. 7228 and 7230 in order to provide funding necessary to process payment.
