Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc., for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant New Headworks, Preliminary Treatment and Reliability Improvements Project. This modification will provide funding for additional paving, checkout and startup modifications, time extension request claim, and other miscellaneous additional items.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be sufficient authority in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for this expenditure upon passage of this ordinance. The project work covered under this contract modification is being funded through an Ohio Water Development Authority Supplemental Loan, identified as CS392261-02-1. This supplemental loan was approved by the OWDA on September 30, 2004.
3. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT MODIFICATION:
The amount requested under this ordinance is $1,000,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $13,615,900.00. Additional work to the contract work has been identified as necessary to provide a fully functional facility and will cost more that the contingency amount incorporated in the contract for such purposes. Due to the complex and comprehensive nature of this project, this additional work could not be foreseen, and it is not practical or feasible to undertake a new procurement to deliver these services.
4. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION:
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting City Council to consider this ordinance an emergency measure in order to allow for the immediate continuation of work in order to avoid possible delay claims, pursuant to the successful completion of this vital sanitary infrastructure improvement.
