Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the City Auditor to cancel Auditor's Certificate 035382 in the amount of $428,316.28, transfer the funds to CIP 650259-100001 for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Corrosion Prevention and Protective Coating project, and amend the 2013 Capital Improvements Budget.

2. The funds for this project were inadvertently transferred into the wrong Capital Improvements Project and this ordinance corrects that. Ordinance 1585-2013 authorized the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering modification agreement (Mod #1) with Chester Engineers, Inc., for the Jackson Pike Waste Water Treatment Plant, Corrosion Prevention and Protective Coating Systems Project to provide protective coatings on many structures, buildings and process items at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Whittier Street Storm Tanks. This project will implement a study to determine the specific areas, structures and process items in need of attention, determine the procedures necessary for the rehabilitation, and determine the steps necessary to inhibit deterioration in the future.

3. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is requested for this legislation at this time to place the requested funds in the correct Capital Improvements Project number.
