Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a planned contract modification to the Sewer System Engineering Section's Construction Administration and Inspection Services Agreement with DLZ Ohio, Inc. This modification will increase the funding of the contract services by an additional $1,413,022.77 for construction administration services for 8 sanitary sewer system projects that are currently being awarded or will be shortly. These projects typically involve the replacement and or rehabilitation of sanitary and combined sewer infrastructure. This is one of two construction administration and inspection services contracts for which the Division of Sewerage and Drainage will submit planned contract modification requests to Council as they are funded through Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund; or other available funding sources.
2. CONTRACT MODIFICATION INFORMATION:
This contract was originally procured to provide construction administration and inspection services for sanitary and combined sewer projects during the fiscal years of 2005-2007. In so much as the Division of Sewerage and Drainage funds a large portion of its construction contracts with the loans from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund, it is necessary for the Division to modify the subject contract incrementally, through planned contract modifications as said funding becomes available.
The Division has determined that it is appropriate to augment city personnel by utilizing these contracted services on a routine basis. The cost of these services is consistent with those provided for under the existing agreement.
3. FISCAL IMPACT: This legislation requests the authority to transfer residual project funds from accounts that do not currently require funding, in order to fund the construction administration and inspection services required for the aforementioned projects. This transfer will have no adverse scheduling or funding impacts upon those projects for which funds are being transferred from.
