Resolution to approve agreement for Services between the City of Monticello and MEP Engineers related to preparation of Berndes Center HVAC Plans and Specifications
WHEREAS, the City of Monticello own the Monticello Berndes Center and has identified the replacement of the HVAC system as a priority, the current system being for the most part 25 years old or so with certain portions of the system not working correctly or at all, with other portions of the system found to have been installed inappropriately when originally installed, and
WHEREAS, the City has sought bids to replace portions of the system and has received bids from local contractors, however, due to the fact that the plans and specifications on which those bids were made were not sufficiently detailed, the bids received were not clearly for the same amount or quality of work, and
WHEREAS, while steps were taken to avoid the cost associated with the preparation of detailed plans and specifications it has become clear that a professional plan set with review during the project and inspection after the project to ensure that all work was performed consistent with the plans is in the long-term best interests of the City, and
WHEREAS, the Council has been presented with an Agreement for Services provided by MEP Engineers, wherein they set out their proposal to prepare plans and specs, be available to answer questions during construction, and to perform a final inspection of the project for the fixed sum of $4,800 plus reimbursable expenses as noted in the proposed agreement with additional services, if any, to also be invoiced as explained in the agreement, and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the preparation of plans and specifications is necessary and that the agreement as proposed should be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby authorize and direct the City Administrator to execute the Agreement for Services on behalf of the City Council.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 18th day of November, 2019.
