Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes modifying the professional engineering services contract, with Brown & Caldwell Ohio, LLC, in connection with the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Skimmings Concentrator System Improvements Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This modification will provide for the preparation of detailed design plans and specifications for this project. The original scope of service conducted a preliminary engineering evaluation for purposes of determining the planned equipment and operational capacities.

2. PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT MODIFICATION:
This contract is being funded incrementally by modification as the work progresses through the planned project steps from preliminary design through services during construction. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage has determined that these services cannot be performed by city personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis. The contract total including this modification is $138,870.00. The cost of these services is consistent with those provided for under the existing contract.

The potential need for the additional work was foreseen and so stated in the original contract's legislation explanation. This additional work is a direct, logical extension of the work included in the contract and is required immediately. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity currently under contract and undertake continuation of the work under a new procurement.

3. FISCAL IMPACT: This project work will be funded at a future date by a loan from the State of Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) which is jointly administered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Water Development Authority.
