Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with CH2MHill, Inc., for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Thickening Improvements and Additional Renovations Project. The CH2MHill, Inc. modification #3 amount requested under this ordinance is $250,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $8,910,327.00. The proposed contract modification provides funding for additional detailed engineering design services tasks, for the preparation of construction documents and bidding assistance for a new phase of this project, Contract J216 for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant (JPWWTP) Polymer System Renovations. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity currently under contract and undertake continuation of these services with another procurement provider. The cost of the modification is a continuation of the vendor's current pricing structure, as verified by City staff. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 590918189/001 (MAJ) (Expires 5/15/2010)
C. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance authorizes the transfer of funds from within the Voted Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund for this expenditure. The 2008 Capital Improvements Budget is amended for this expenditure upon passage of this ordinance.
