Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Roto Rooter for plumbing repairs. The contract was formally bid in February 2010 (SA003498). Legislation was not necessary earlier because the total contracts in years one and two did not exceed $20,000.00. The contract term is April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. The contract encompasses all buildings under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. This contract modification will allow Finance and Management to replace an oil interceptor at the Division of Police at the Central Safety Building, 120 Marconi Boulevard.
The work is to include, but is not limited to, the replacement of the interceptor, removal and replacement of four traffic posts, re-piping, and re-concrete excavated area.
Emergency action is requested so that plumbing repairs can occur without interruption.
