TITLE:

title

Approval of the Second Amendment to the Agreement for Construction of Redmond Technology Station Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge with Microsoft

 

OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

recommendation

This amendment adds $128,000 to the existing Construction Agreement between the City of Redmond and Microsoft. Under this reimbursement agreement Microsoft is funding City staff and consultant costs during the construction phase of the project. The additional funds from Microsoft are needed because the construction duration is longer than anticipated due to complexity of the project, construction challenges, large number of design changes, need to address non-conforming work, and nature of the design-build process.
