OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING AN EXEMPTION TO THE USE OF A COMPETITIVE
PROCESS FOR ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IN CONNECTION
WITH THE TIMBERLINE, DRAKE TO PROSPECT PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City previously conducted a competitive request-for-proposals process,
through which Interwest Consulting Group (Interwest) was selected to complete various
professional services related to the engineering design of the Timberline Road, Drake to
Prospect Project (the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, the City entered into a professional services agreement with Interwest for
the completion of the engineering/design for the interim improvements of the Project on July 7,
2004, and work is proceeding satisfactorily pursuant to that agreement; and
WHEREAS, the original scope of work to be completed by Interwest did not include the
completion of the full and complete four lane engineering design (the"Additional Work"); and
WHEREAS, the City has determined since contracting with Interwest that concurrent
engineering design of the interim and four lane projects would save the City both time and
money in advance of the Building on Basics proposed sales tax renewal; and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent has determined that the use of Interwest to complete
the Additional Work through a change order to the existing contract for services would be an
efficient and cost-effective means of accomplishing the same and has submitted the requisite
justification to the City Manager for approval; and
WHEREAS, the Interim City Manager has reviewed and approved the determination of
the Purchasing Agent; and
WHEREAS, the cost associated with the Additional Work totals $200,000, which is
proposed to be appropriated in Ordinance No. 138, 2004; and
WHEREAS, Article IV, Section 8-161(d)(1)j of the Code of the City of Fort Collins
authorizes the Purchasing Agent to contract for services without competition if the services are
to be provided through a change order to an existing professional services contract; and
WHEREAS, Section 8-161(d)(3) requires approval by City Council of exceptions to the
competitive purchasing process for items costing more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000)prior to acquisition.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that the Purchasing Agent is authorized to execute an addendum to the City's
existing contract with Interwest to add the Additional Work to the scope of services to be
completed thereunder, at an additional contract price of $200,000, contingent upon the final
adoption of Ordinance No. 138, 2004, appropriating certain funds therefor.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held this 21st day of
September, A.D. 2004.
