Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract modification for consulting services with BBCO Design LLC for the Space Planning Study, CIP #600001-100001, in an amount up to $754,633.00.
The Department of Public Utilities (DPU), Director’s Office is ceasing operations at the administration building located at 910 Dublin Road. A space planning study was needed to assist DPU to define space types and size requirements, along with possible high-level assessment of potential future locations for the relocation of the staff and operations from this location, and potentially from other DPU locations.
The Department of Development (DOD) also has office move needs. The DOD office move requirements are very similar in nature and scope to the DPU office move requirements. This contract modification will add the DOD office move requirements to the DPU contract to make it a multi-department contract.
The community area is “99 - City-Wide”.
