Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction services modification contract with D & M Painting Corp. for the Rome-Hilliard West Tank Painting Improvements project, C.I.P. Number 690477-100020, in an amount up to $28,501.81.
The work consists of abrasive blasting and recoating of the entire exterior, interior wet ceiling and spot repairs of the interior dry areas of a 2-million-gallon capacity fluted column steel elevated water storage tank, and other such work as may be necessary to complete the contract, in accordance with the technical specifications, and City of Columbus Construction and Material Specifications as set forth in the Invitation For Bid (IFB).

The contractor also filed a claim for differing site conditions involving the material of coating in the interior wet. The coating was presented to be more difficult to remove through abrasive blasting than typical coatings for this application. Removal of this coating required additional time and material not included in the original bid.
The Community Planning Area is 36 - Far West.
UPDATED TIMELINE: No additional time will be added to the contract. All work shall still be completed within 180 calendar days of the date the Notice to Proceed was issued.
