A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLULTION 02-04-2020
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO A
CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE
CITY OF VAN BUREN, ARKANSAS AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, the City of Van Buren, Arkansas received Federal-aid
Transportation Alternatives Program grant funds for a Downtown
Streetscape Project; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor was approved by the City Council of the City of Van
Buren, Arkansas to enter into a contract for engineering services
with Resolution 02-04-2020 for the amount of$134,200; and
WHEREAS, the project was changed multiple times over a six(6)year period of
time, and included two or more project numbers from Hawkins-
Weir(2019116 and 2020092)being combined as one project. It was
determined the best way to address the changes was with
engineering charges based on hourly services which made the
originally approved amount exceed $134,200.
WHEREAS, there have been other engineering agreements with the same
Downtown Streetscape Project name or project number,thus adding
to confusion when posting occurs. To eliminate this moving
forward, it has been determined the best account tracking will be to
separate the projects distinctively and to amend Resolution 02-04-
2020 from the amount of$134,200 to $211,518.67 to include the
hourly service charges and other project numbers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF VAN BUREN,ARKANSAS, THAT:
SECTION 1: Resolution 02-04-2020 for the contract amount of $134,200 is amended to the
contract amount of$211,518.67 with Hawkins Weir.
SECTION 2: Effective July 27,2026,all projects for the Downtown Streetscape will be distinctly
separate and will have different project numbers both internally and externally for
better account tracking on a project of this size.
