body
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 7R4-C, adopted June 6, 2013, authorized the Director of the Department of Engineering to accept the bid proposal and execute Contract No. 04-2013, "Citywide Traffic Calming Program", with Granada Construction Corp., 147 Thomas Street, Newark, New Jersey 07114, for the amount of $272,500.00; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Engineering needed to modify the original design of the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (Contract Item No. 4) to include (2) two additional push buttons in order to provide a safer crossing for pedestrians. This new design will allow pedestrians to activate the flashing beacons by pressing the push buttons on all four corners. In addition, the contract amount needs to be increased to account for an additional 35,400 linear feet of striping to complete the speed hump markings, due to an error in the quantities originally projected in the Specifications; and
WHEREAS, the changes do not materially expand upon the size, nature or scope of the project and the extra work could not be effectuated by a separately bid contract without unduly disrupting the basic work; therefore, the Change Order is in compliance with N.J.A.C. 5:30-11.8; and
WHEREAS, the attached Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. 04-2013, "Citywide Traffic Calming Program", increases the contract amount by $31,074.00, thereby increasing the total amount of this contract from $272,500.00 to $303,574.00.

1.

2. Attached hereto are Certification of Funds issued by the Chief Financial Officer, City of Newark, which states that there are available sufficient legally appropriated funds in the amount of $31,074.00 for the purpose set forth hereinabove.
