Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract with the Righter Company, Inc., in the amount of $942,500.00 for the construction of the Downtown Combined Area System Renovations Projects.

This is an Long Term Control Plan required project that will address the combined sewer overflow reduction requirements of the Combined Sewer Overflow Consent Order. Work to be completed by this contract consists of the modification of fourteen (14) existing combined sewer overflows located in various manhole and regulator structures in the Downtown area and the Ohio State University Campus area. Work includes the construction of new overflow pipes, concrete masonry, reinforced concrete work, installation and/or replacement of brick and precast structures, installation of prefabricated fiberglass/stainless steel angles, channels and wooden stop logs; and all other such work that may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans (CC-14980) and specifications.

The Director of Public Utilities publicly opened four competitive bid proposals on September 5, 2007. The bidders included; the Righter Company, Inc., George J. Igel, & Company, Inc., Bale Contracting, Inc., and Complete General, Inc. The City's project manager has recommended the award go to the Righter Company, Inc., based upon their estimate, and evaluation of the low bidder's proposal.

2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance authorizes the transfer and appropriation of funds from the Sanitary Sewer Reserve Fund for this expenditure of $942,500.00. The 2007 Capital Improvements Budget is amended to establish sufficient funds and budget authority to cover this expenditure upon passage of this ordinance. Monies for this modification are to be provided from a future bond sale via the transfer detailed in this ordinance.
