Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend Ordinance 1970-2014 in order to add additional funding to the original ordinance and correct the original wording.
The purpose of Ordinance 1970-2014 was to authorize the Director of Public Service to enter into contracts and issue purchase orders in the amount of up to $52,000.00 to replace the security system and overhead doors at the Department of Public Service’s facility at 1800 E. 17th Avenue.
The reason that Public Service is requesting this amendment is that the original proposal dated July 15, 2013, from Matrix Systems is superseded by a revised proposal dated October 28, 2014, as costs have changed since the issuance of the original proposal. Due to the increase in costs, it is necessary to amend the amount of the original ordinance from $52,000.00 to $60,000.00. Also, the project will no longer replace the overhead doors but will have damaged components replaced consisting of but not limited to: motors, sensors, etc.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The new projected cost for the project is $60,000.00, an increase of $8,000.00 above the original estimate of $52,000.00. Funds are available for this project in the Street and Highway Improvement Fund within the Department of Public Service. Amendment to the 2014 Capital Improvements Budget is necessary to establish sufficient cash and authority in the proper project.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested so building security can be restored to full capability without delay.
