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 the repair of a storm water drain in the east lot at the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street. The initial contract was formally bid in February 2010 (SA003498) and was established for various sanitary and storm water repairs on an as needed basis. Legislation was not necessary earlier as the contract did not initially exceed $20,000.00 (the threshold for Councilmanic approval). The contract encompasses all buildings under the purview of the Facilities Management Division.
The scope of the project shall include, but is not limited to, the excavation of the storm drain and replacing with (SDR) sewer drain rated pipe and Frenco 5000 stainless steel bands. As well, all storm drains and catch basins in the parking lot will be video inspected. The hole will be backfilled with gravel and the excavated area will be repaved.
Emergency legislation is requested so that the contractor will be able to complete this project during good weather.
