RESOLUTION NO. R-2021-109: A RESOLUTION OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE NORMAN MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY ASSIGNING CONTRACT K-1617-105 WITH CABBINESS ENGINEERING, L.L.C., TO GARVER, L.L.C, AND TRANSFERRING ASSIGNMENT OF ALL RIGHTS AND DUTIES AS "CONSULTANT" UNDER CONTRACT K-1617-105 TO GARVER, LLC.
Body
BACKGROUND: On March 14, 2017, the Norman City Council approved the design contract (K-1617-105) with Cabbiness Engineering, for the James Garner Avenue project from Acres Street to Flood Avenue, and Cabbiness began preliminary design for the project.
On August 27, 2019, the Norman City Council approved Contract Amendment No. One for contract K-1617-105 in the amount of $2,275 for the design of the James Garner Avenue Project from Acres Street to Flood Avenue.

By amending the design contract to include right-of-way acquisition services, the City gains the advantage of having a single contractor handling both the design and acquisition of the remaining required parcel.
By separate contract amendment, Amd. No. 2 to K-1617-105, the NMA and Garver seek to amend the scope of Contract K-1617-105, and its Amd. No. 1, to increase the contract amount to accommodate changes in scope of the engineering design from the original contract, including:
* Right of Way Acquisition Services for required parcels associated with the James Garner Phase 2 - Acres Street to Flood Avenue Project.
Garver, LLC has proposed a design fee of $5,675 (see Contract Amendment #2) to provide right-of-way acquisition services for the James Garner Extension project (NFB004). The previous contract and amendments with Cabbiness Engineering...
