Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Settle Muter Electric for the renovation of electrical service for City Hall, 90 West Broad Street.

Ordinance No. 1176-2008, passed July 17, 2008, authorized Phase I, the renovation of underground utilities for the 120 West Gay Street area. Phase I is necessary in order to install new underground duct banks in the public right-of-way and City-owned property encompassing the streets and sidewalks of Marconi Boulevard, Spring Street, Front Street, and West Gay Street. In addition, the ordinance authorized the replacement of primary electrical and communications duct banks, a pull box system for a rework of utility services for the Department of Technology, manholes and vaults, and the installation of coax and fiber cable for the Transportation Division.

This ordinance authorizes Phase II of the overall project, the renovation of electrical service for City Hall. Work will include new secondary metered service including new entrance and distribution equipment to back feed existing panel boards and mechanical equipment loads and the removal of three unit substations. The current configuration of the main electrical feed down Ludlow Alley and into City Hall does not meet code, is unsafe, and needs to be remedied immediately.

This ordinance also authorizes the transfer of $1,072,000.00 between projects within the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund and amends the 2008 Capital Improvement Budget, Ordinance No. 0690-2008.
