Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a planned, professional engineering services contract modification agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., for professional program management services for the 2006-2010 Capital Improvements Program of the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The work in this program includes a very substantial group of sewer capital improvements projects (CIPs) at the City's two wastewater treatment plants, which have been agreed to by the City and Ohio EPA in order to conform to the requirements of the City's consent orders.

The actual emplacement of the CIPs will be by construction contract; the professional program management contract is providing: program planning, scheduling, budgeting, and status reporting; construction management; design management; some design of critical projects; special services such as Value Engineering, and other services for this very large, important program, as directed by the City. The initial authorization of, and appropriation of monies to, this contract was accomplished by Ordinance No. 0731-2006, passed May 8, 2006. This contract was always planned to be funded incrementally, through contract modifications. The initial Fiscal Year 2007 appropriation will be exhausted at the end of September, 2007, and this contract modification provides funding to continue this important work into Fiscal Year 2008.
