5 � -z � Therefore, it would have been necessary to supplement the budget for this task anyway, so in-lieu-of amending MTCo's contract, staff is recommending a new contract to Chaudhary & Associates. Chaudhary and Associates' budget of $95,877.60, is anticipated to cover surveying needs to the end of the project. Chaudhary and Associates, Inc. is a well respected firm in the highway industry and was selected based on their qualification in accordance with the Mini (Cal.) Brooks Act. They were the surveyors for the Highway 101 Auxiliary lanes north of Ralston and also surveyed the San Francisco Airport project, which involved complex aerial bridge over- crosses and a multi-level approach structure to the new International Terminal. The construction contract for this project was awarded on August 11, 2003, to OC Jones and Sons, Inc. The value of the construction contract is $12.45 million. Harris and Associates was retained by the City to assist with the construction management of this project. Caltrans has oversight responsibility, and the City of Belmont has assigned the project management authority to Redwood City through a co-op agreement. Alternative Council can choose not to approve this contract, which will require finding another engineering firm to perForm this work or to continue to work with MTCo surveyors, which will seriously risk the successful completion of the subject project. Fiscal Impact Funds in the amount of $3.5 million are available in the 2004-05 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget under the Capital Project Funds, to support this project, covering landscaping, environmentat mitigation, utility relocation, and other miscellaneous expenses, including this expense. � � � .
