Background

A.) Need:
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Corrosion Probe Inc. to provide Quality Control Inspection Services for Improvements to Existing Linabond Lining System in the Big Walnut Augmentation Rickenbacker Interceptor (BWARI) for the Department of Public Utilities.

The agreement will provide the Department of Public Utilities with a complete analysis and recommendations in regards to the improvements necessary to place the tunnel in full service. The company will conduct thorough inspections of the tunnel for the Department of Public Utilities and will prepare recommendations for the department.

Waiver of competitive bidding provisions of City Code is being requested. Selection of Corrosion Probe Inc. was made in consultation with the City Attorney's Office due to the fact that the recommended firm has particular expertise in doing this type of analysis. The firm was selected by the City Attorney's Office to provide expert testimony during the Disputes Resolution Board's hearing. The disputes are not yet resolved and additional services are being provided for detailed investigations and quality control.

B.) Fiscal Impact: $200,000.00 is needed for this contact and adequate funding remains in the project under the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund.

C.) Contract Compliance No.: 061123092 (MAJ) (Expiration: 10/24/2010)

D.) Emergency Designation:
Emergency action of City Council is requested to allow this agreement to be effective prior to the end of 2008.
