WHEREAS, in January 2006, the City entered into an engineering services contract with
DeWild Grant Reckert and Associates (DGR) for design and inspection services for a new elevated
water storage tank near the State Avenue and Mortensen Road intersection; and,
WHEREAS, the agreement was comprised of a $47,500 design services fee and an estimated
$20,000 inspection services fee; and,
WHEREAS,construction began in August 2007 and has continued throughout the winter;and,
WHEREAS,since this phase of construction has extended into the winter months,the scope and
frequency of inspection services have been higher than anticipated,and progress on the tank has fallen
behind schedule, which will result in additional inspection visits being required; and,
WHEREAS,because of this, City staff requested that DGR provide a revised cost estimate for
inspection services through the project duration; and,
WHEREAS, DGR proposes increasing the cost estimate from $20,000 to $45,000, not to be
exceeded without prior approval of City staff.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa,that
the amendment to the engineering services agreement to account for additional construction inspection
services with DGR for the new elevated water storage tank is hereby approved.
