Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the contract with Ameritcon, Inc., for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant New Headworks, Primary Sludge Pumping Systems Improvements Project. This modification will provide funding for additional electrical equipment to control the hopper valves at the primary settling tanks, and the installation of new cables and conduit to existing grinders that have been relocated. This legislation will additionally authorize the appropriation, transfer, and expenditure of funds from the Sewerage System Reserve Fund to the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund for this contract modification.

2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This project work is being funded through the existing State of Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) loan CS392276-01, which is being administered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Water Development Authority. There is sufficient budget authority within the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for this expenditure.

3. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT MODIFICATION:
This will be the final modification to this contract, whereupon the project will be successfully closed out. The amount requested under this ordinance is $52,577.00. The contract total including this modification is $ 1,679,027.00. Additional work to the contract work has been identified as necessary to provide a fully functional facility and will cost more than the contingency amount incorporated in the contract for such purposes. Due to the complex and comprehensive nature of this project, this additional work could not be foreseen, and it is not practical or feasible to undertake a new procurement to deliver these services.
