Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into contract with the C.J. Mahan Construction Company for construction of the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant New Headworks Project, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This legislation also amends the 2003 Capital Improvements Budget.

This construction project will construct a new raw sewage pump building at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing original headworks facility would require extensive renovation work to maintain reliable service. It is less expensive and more expeditious to replace the facilities. The new facility will provide additional flow capacity and expandability to the wastewater treatment facility. The sequencing of this project requires coordination with the Big Walnut Augmentation Rickenbacker Interceptor Sewer Project which connects along the northeastern boundary of the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant.

2. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AWARD:
The project was advertised in the City Bulletin, and three bids were received on September 3, 2003, as follows:
1. C.J. Mahan Construction Company| $50,868,825.00| Majority Firm
2. Kokosing Construction Company| $51,600,790.50| Majority Firm
3. Barton Malow Company| $60,506,250.00| Majority Firm
The Engineer's construction cost estimate was $53,900,000.00

3. FISCAL IMPACT: The Division has included $59,724,000 within its 2004 Capital Improvements Budget (CIB) request. In so much as the 2003 CIB continues to be in effect, the Division is requesting City Council to amend it, in order to provide sufficient funding for this project. This project is being funded utilizing a loan from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (CS392276-02) which is administered by the Ohio Water Development Authority. This ordinance further appropriates the loan proceeds for the expenses of construction management; engineering; and inspection services that are authorized under ...
