Amend contract with KPFF Consulting Engineers for professional services under Phase II of Bull Run Bridges Rehabilitation Project. (Ordinance; amend Contract No. 29668)

The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1. The Council finds:

1.  Phase I of Contract No. 29668 with KPFF Consulting Engineers provides for professional services for field inspections and structural analyses of six steel truss bridges owned by the Water Bureau with recommendations for maintenance and seismic upgrade improvements. Phase II provides for negotiating with KPFF Consulting Engineers for design of the improvements and related construction services.

2.  Phase I has been completed. Phase II was authorized by Amendments 4 through 6.

3.  Phase II work on the Headworks Pipeline, Headworks Roadway, and Bowman Pipeline and Roadway Bridges has been completed. Design on the Larson’s Pipeline and Roadway Bridge was also completed, however, construction was delayed because of financial and permitting issues. Work on the two Sandy River Bridges has been cancelled.

4.  The Water Bureau plans to begin construction on the Larson’s Bridge rehabilitation beginning in Summer 2002.

5.  The original contract completion time of June 30, 1996 was extended by multiple amendments to December 31, 2001. Due to the events and factors described above, completion of remaining and revised services under the contract is now scheduled through October 31, 2003.

6.  City charter Section 2-105(a)(3) provides that non-property contracts shall not exceed five (5) years unless extended or renewed by City Council for up to an additional five (5) years. The initial five (5) year period for this contract expired December 28, 1999. In order to continue these needed services and complete Phase II for this project, it is necessary for City Council to authorize extension of this contract through June 30, 2004.

7.  Any applicable provisions of PCC Section 5.68 must be waived for this contract and extension.

NOW, THEREFORE, The Council directs:

a.  That the Chief Engineer and Auditor are authorized to execute on behalf of the City an agreement for services with KPFF Consulting Engineers, Contract No. 29668 dated December 28, 1994, including Amendment No. 7, which extends this contract through June 30, 2004.
