Approval of the First Amendment to the Agreement for Construction of Redmond Technology Station Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge with Microsoft
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
This amendment adds $150,000 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 level of effort has been greater than originally anticipated due complexity of the project, construction challenges, large number of design changes, need to address non-conforming work, and nature of the design-build process. In addition, the construction duration is longer than originally anticipated.
