Explanation

The Department of Public Utilities entered into a contract with GS&P/OH, Inc., an affiliate of Gresham, Smith and Partners, to provide guidance through an Environmental Management System (EMS) development and implementation process and provide environmental management system development and implementation assistance when requested by the Department. The EMS establishes a well-defined environmental program structure, through the identification of roles and responsibilities of DPU staff and the adoption of policies, training, and procedures, to achieve long-term environmental regulatory compliance and reduce the Department's overall environmental impact. This contract was the result of a Request for Proposal received on July 31, 2008.

This is the third modification of the contract. This phase will cover the costs associated with facility emergency preparedness and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure ("SPCC") compliance, which was not planned in the original contract. All terms and conditions of the original agreement remain in full force and effect.

GS&P/OH, Inc. does not hold MBE/FBE status.
