Explanation
* Although the Blue Line Extension (BLE) project successfully opened for revenue service on March 16, 2018, work continues on the Civil A, Civil B/C, Station Finishes, Track and Systems contracts to complete all required work, including submittals, testing, corrective actions, and closeout documentation. This work is ongoing and expected to be complete in early 2019.
* HNTB is providing construction management services for the BLE, including construction inspection, submittal reviews, change management, schedule analysis, construction safety oversight, and quality management services.
* HNTB North Carolina PC contract amendment #9 is needed due to the following:
* Extended duration of Civil construction contracts, including contract closeout;
* Extended duration, resolution of issues, and testing support related to the Track and Systems contract;
* Claims and litigation support; and
* Extended overall completion schedule of the BLE project.
* On November 12, 2012, the City Council approved Phase One of the construction management agreement in the amount of $3,000,000. Phase One was executed to allow work to begin while the primary contract was negotiated.
* Eight contract amendments have been approved to date.
* The new total value of the contract, including this amendment, is an amount up to $74,264,506, which is within the current BLE project budget.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Opportunity
All additional work involved in this amendment will be performed by HNTB North Carolina PC and their existing DBE subcontractors.
