Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the transfer of funds within the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund and authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify Contract Number EL005452 with Vaughn Industries, LLC. The original contract was for labor, equipment, and materials needed to bring the Division of Electricity's facilities up to the US EPA's mandates for oil pollution preventions. This modification is for the installation of additional ground grid, new power cables, and application of miscellaneous credits in the Dublin Avenue Substation and miscellaneous field conditions changes at all sites. This legislation also amends the 2005 Capital Improvements Budget to reflect the transfer.

Amount of additional funds to be expended under modification: $104,527.00
Original Contract Amount: $ 624,998.70
Modification #1 (current): $ 104,527.00
Future modifications known: $ 0.00
Grand Total: $ 729,525.70

Reason additional goods/services could not be foreseen initially: Due to unforeseen field conditions the following changes have occurred:

*Miscellaneous field condition changes have occurred. The contractor has encountered the following unanticipated problems: existing below grade floor slabs that were not shown on drawings and underground duct systems in the wrong/different locations.
* Providing power cable that was to have been provided by the Division of Electricity.
*Additional miscellaneous credits for the deletion of the control building from this contract. There were additional costs in the other items associated with the control building that were not deleted at time of award.
