Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the City Attorney on behalf of the Director of Public Utilities to modify an existing agreement with Burgess and Niple for the continued use of Burgess and Niple as a consultant relative to the Whims Ditch lawsuit Marshal v. Columbus.

The City Attorney's Office entered into an agreement on behalf of the Division of Sewerage and Drainage with Burgess and Niple on November 27, 2007 for professional consulting work pertaining to the Whims Ditch lawsuit. ED-034628 was established in the amount $20,000.00.

It has become necessary to modify and increase ED-034628 for continued consulting services with Burgess and Niple relative to the case Marshal v. Columbus. The request of this ordinance is $15,000.00. This modification does not change the scope of service which includes review of case material, review of plaintiff's reports, preparation of deposition questions, giving expert witness testimony and identifying and reviewing stormwater regulations.

FISCAL IMPACT: $15,000.00 is needed for this service

SUPPLIER: Burgess and Niple: (31-0885550) Expires 1-9-10
