RE: Request for additional Funds for Cleveland-GIbs Bridge
TrsnSystcros Project No:P202050327
Dear Mr.Phillips:
As of August 19,2005,fees for inspection of the subject project total$25,513.82. This exceeds the
original contract amount of$21,840.00 budget by ;3,673.82 The original contract was exceeded
due to contractor scheduling. Often when working with the contractor, it is difficult to predict
when he will be working;efficiently with multiple rasks in progress. Multiple tasks in progess is the
most efficient use of the inspector. The contractor has not been under any pressure to complete the
project and this has resulted in more time beim required for inspection than originally allotted for.
The contractor also had equipment problems which resulted in excess time being spent on the
project to complete the task. Based on the remaining work effort,we are requesting an additional
$8,000.00 be added to our contract so that we ruy complete the project. Should you accept this
proposal, please sign below and return this letter. Please contact me at (817) 339-8950 if you have
any questions.
11ook forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Accepted:

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/10/2006
DATE: Tuesday, January 10, 2006
LOG NAME: 20CLEVELAND REFERENCE NO.: **C-21235
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Amendment No. 1 to Engineering Agreement with TranSystems Consultant
Corporation for Inspection Services for Cleveland-Gibbs Road (Bridge Only)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to City
Secretary Contract 31980 with TranSystems Consultant Corporation in the amount of $8,000.00 to provide
for additional engineering services, thereby increasing the total contract amount to $29,840.00.
DISCUSSION:
On June 30, 2005, the City Manager administratively executed an engineering agreement with
TranSystems Consultant Corporation in the amount of $21,840.00 for inspection services during the
construction of the Cleveland-Gibbs Road bridge. The purpose of the original agreement was to provide
critical inspections during the construction of the bridge and to train Department of Engineering staff to
develop in-house capabilities for similar projects in the future.
Due to contractor scheduling problems, the bridge construction has taken longer to complete than originally
anticipated. This amendment will allow continued inspection by TranSystems of the bridge construction
through the completion of the project.
Staff considers the proposed fee of $8,000.00 to be fair and reasonable for the additional services to be
provided.
This project is located in Council District 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the
Street Improvements Fund.
