Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. for three sanitary sewer improvement projects:
a. Atwood Terrace/Northridge Rd. Relief Sewer
b. Weldon Ave. Sanitary Relief Sewer
c. Lenore Ave./Huy Rd. Sanitary Relief Sewer
The modification amount requested under this ordinance is $68,490.61. The contract total including this modification is $4,318,216.86. These additional monies will pay for the remaining contractor balances owed that are associated with these completed projects. Work was performed by the Contractor under the original contract but after work was completed, OWDA declined to pay for some of the items. The remaining contingency (or non-eligible monies) for these projects was mistakenly closed out by Transportation under their 1990 Dr E project which was included in this bid. Therefore, the money that was left in the contract to pay for this work is no longer available.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 311023518-001 (MAJ) (Expires 03/14/2010)
C. Emergency Designation: The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting City Council to designate this ordinance an emergency measure in order to allow for the immediate payment to the contractor for this work that has already been completed.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance authorizes the transfer of funds within the Voted Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund (664) for the purpose of providing the necessary funding required for this expenditure. There will also be an amendment to the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget to provide sufficient budget authority for the current project. This legislation will authorize the expenditure of $68,490.61 within the Voted Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund.
