Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase an existing professional engineering services contract with H.R. Gray & Associates, Inc. for purposes of providing engineering services required to coordinate the City's roadway and underground utility infrastructure capital improvement projects that are scheduled for the RiverSouth District, that is generally bounded along the east side of the Scioto River, Broad Street to the north, High Street to the east, and Mound Street to the south.

These contract services are necessary to combine and coordinate a comprehensive schedule of private development, roadway improvement, and vitally important and aging underground utility infrastructure projects. This contract will ensure that the proposed construction plans are properly planned, scheduled, and implemented in a manner to save time and money, and to minimize the disruption and inconvenience to the businesses, pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this busy downtown area.

2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
The H.R. Gray & Associates Contract Compliance number is CC 311050479 which expires 1/17/2010.

3. FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract will incorporate the requisite preliminary engineering services necessary to coordinate the planned and proposed roadway improvements for the Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction and the sanitary sewer and waterline rehabilitation/replacement improvements for the Department of Public Utilities.

Funding for this contract modification is being allocated equally between the Division of Design and Construction, Division of Sewerage and Drainage and Division of Power and Water. This legislation also authorizes the required fund transfer and budget authority amendments necessary to fund this modification.

This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to transfer and appropriate $59,669.25 in funds from the Sanitary Sewer Reserve Fund...
