Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional services agreement with Woolpert, Inc., in the amount of $219,929.00, to develop GIS data showing 1-foot contour lines. Contour lines show elevation on maps.
Under Ordinance No. 0412-2011, passed April 4, 2011, Woolpert provided ortho-photography, or aerial images of the earth and LiDAR data. Under this agreement, Woolpert will take those images and LiDAR data, extract out the elevations, and show those lines on our electronic maps (GIS). The Department will use this information for modeling purposes to see ground elevation and slope change (i.e. hills and depressions).
2. BID INFORMATION: The Department will be contracting with Woolpert, Inc. in accordance with State of Ohio Contract CSP#0A1078. This contract was formally bid through and awarded by the State of Ohio, Department of Information Technology, and was bid specifically to be a cooperative contract for use by other government agencies in accordance with Chapter 1545 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). Ordinance 582-87 authorizes the City of Columbus to participate in cooperative purchasing contracts.
The Contract Compliance Number for Woolpert, Inc. is 20-1391406 (expires 6/17/13, Majority). Searches in the Excluded Party List System (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Woolpert, Inc.
3. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this project will come from the Divisions of Sewerage and Drainage and Power and Water.
A transfer of funds within the Sanitary Sewer General Obligation Fund, Fund 664 and an amendment to the 2011 Capital Improvements Budget will be necessary.
A transfer of funds within the Water Build America Bonds Fund and an amendment to the 2011 Capital Improvements Budget will be necessary.
