Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the Professional Construction Management Services agreement with URS Corporation - Ohio, which provides cost effective construction management, field representation, inspection testing, instrumentation/control design, integration and support services, and services for maintenance of operations during construction for various capital improvements projects for the Water Supply/Technical Support group, for the period of 2011 - 2015.
The original legislation, under Ordinance No. 1386-2010, stated that this agreement would be modified over the 2011 - 2015 period. The first contract was executed in December 2010 to allow the Professional Construction Management Team to perform a constructability review of the Upground Reservoir R-2 Project prior to advertisement for bid in December 2010.
Modification No. 1, under Ordinance No. 0134-2011, enabled the Professional Construction Management Team to perform a constructability review of the Upground Reservoir Raw Water Pump Station and Raw Water Line.
Modification No. 2, under Ordinance No. 0975-2011 enabled the Professional Construction Management Team to perform constructability reviews for various projects, for the remainder of 2011 and the first half of 2012.
Modification No. 3 is to cover Professional Construction Management tasks for the remainder of 2012 and the first half of 2013. Refer to the attached Information file, item number 6, for a description of these projects.
It is anticipated annual contract modifications will be submitted for Council approval in the middle of 2013 to cover Professional Construction Management tasks for the next 12 month period, and annually thereafter for the duration of the five year contract period.

Original Contract Amount: $ 200,000.00 (EL011123)
Modification 1 $ 1,625,000.00 (EL011432)
Modification 2 $15,750,000.00 (EL011999)
Modification 3 (current) $ 6,854,740.00
Total (Orig. + Mods. 1-3) $24,429,740.00
1.2. Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen:
This modification was planned and identified in the original contracting legislation Ord. 1386-2010, in the first contract modification Ord. 0134-2011, as well as the second contract modification Ord. 0975-2011.
1.3. Reason other procurement processes are not used:
The original RFP for this project anticipated a multi-year project with annual expenditures. The original authorizing legislation Ord. 1386-2010, the first contract modification Ord. 0134-2011, and the second contract modification Ord. 0975-2011 identified the planned contract modifications.
1.4. How cost of modification was determined:
Consultant prepared a cost breakdown exhibit including estimated hours and hourly rates for upcoming work. This cost breakdown was reviewed and approved by the Project manager for the City Division of Power and Water. Hourly rates and multipliers were submitted during the Request for Proposal phase of the project, with annual increases included for the contract duration.
2. ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT: This is a Professional Construction Management project which will facilitate the construction administration and construction inspection services for projects in the Division of Power and Water (Water) capital program. These projects are all related to water supply and treatment facilities. These projects are incorporated in the capital improvement program for various reasons including meeting regulatory requirements, expanded supplies to meet development concerns and maintenance of the water supply and treatment facilities. All of these functions are tied to the economic vitality of the service area. Outreach and public informational meetings have been performed under previous modifications of this contract and will be performed on individual projects as they near construction as appropriate. The consultant team has identified a commitment to the Mayor's Green Initiative in their business practices, including recycling programs in their offices, a commitment to double-sided printing, and utilization of Project Management Information System (PMIS) for submittal reviews which limits the need for printing documents for review.
