Resolution approving a Change Order to Purchase Order WG120597 with Rams Contracting Ltd. for topsoil spreading for public construction phase 3 utilities at Westlawn Gardens Phase 2 in an amount not-to-exceed $299,000.00
The original contract amount was for $40,313.00. During construction, additional topsoil spreading work beyond the original scope was required with an additional amount not-to-exceed $299,000.00, resulting in a new total of $339,313.00. This now exceeds the $250,000.00 threshold requiring Board approval.
Analysis
Body
WHEREAS, the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) solicited competitive pricing for Topsoil Spreading for Public Construction Phase 3 Utilities at Westlawn Gardens Phase 2 and awarded the work to Rams Contracting Ltd., the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; and
WHEREAS, the original award amount of $40,313.00 fell under the threshold of $250,000.00 above which approval by the HACM Board of Commissioners is required, and, therefore, said award was not presented to the board for approval at that time; and
WHEREAS, during the course of construction, additional topsoil spreading work beyond the original scope was required, resulting in a cumulative change order amount of $299,000.00 not-to-exceed; and
WHEREAS, the new purchase order amount of $339,313.00 not-to-exceed now exceeds the aforementioned $250,000.00 threshold, and, therefore, requires approval by the HACM Board of Commissioners; therefore, be it,
RESOLVED, by the Board of Commissioners of the Housing of the City of Milwaukee that it hereby authorizes a cumulative change order totaling $299,000.00 not-to-exceed to be added to Purchase Order WG120597 with Rams Contracting Ltd. for Topsoil Spreading for Public Construction Phase 3 Utilities at Westlawn Gardens Phase 2; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that funds for these services will come from Central Office Cost Center (COCC), Capital Fund Program (CFP), and the City of Milwaukee; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of HACM be and hereby are authorized and directed to properly execute a cumulative change order to said purchase order for and on behalf of HACM; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that if any extensions of the time of performance are needed, the officers of HACM may approve such request without any further action of the Board of Commissioners of HACM.; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that all of above is contingent upon receiving the approval of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, if required; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that all acts previously performed relative to this matter by the Board of Commissioners of HACM be and hereby are approved, ratified, and confirmed in all respects.
