Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into the following contracts in connection with the emergency project identified as the Sanitary System Rehabilitation-Franklin Main Interceptor, Vicinity of Neil Avenue Project:

Complete General Const. Co.|Construction/Rehabilitation Services| $1,251,361.20
Allied Technical Services| Bypass Pumping Services| $443,596.28
H. R. Gray & Associates| Const. Admin. & Inspection| $126,093.02

A Mayor's Emergency was declared on February 27, 2004, for purposes of undertaking the action necessary to repair a collapsed section of the Franklin-Main Interceptor Sewer in the vicinity of Neil Avenue and Spring Street. Immediately after the declaration, the aforementioned firms were given authority to commence the installation of a bypass pumping system, and to begin determining the extent of the collapse. A tunneling subcontractor was used to excavate through the collapsed debris in order to provide a host liner for new pipe. The Complete General Construction Company has installed a new manhole within the Long Street right of way, just east of the railroad overpass, and has been directed to subcontract for the relining of the Franklin-Main from this new manhole, north to the vicinity of I-670. The cost of these contracts is based upon this recently, planned scope of work, and includes a contingency amount for unforeseen conditions. The rehabilitation of the sewer and the removal of the bypass pumping operation is expected to be completed by the first of June.

The Division is requesting authority to transfer funds from the Sewer System Reserve Fund to the 1991 Voted Sanitary Bond Fund for purposes of providing the temporary funding needed until such time as bonds can be sold. The Division has sufficient spending authority within the proposed 2004 Capital Improvements Budget to fund this emergency project.
