Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract modification to the Sewer System Engineering Section's Construction Administration and Inspection Services Agreement with DLZ Ohio, Inc. This modification will increase the funding of the contract services by an additional $1,163,680.25 for construction administration services for 14 sanitary sewer system projects that are currently being awarded or will be shortly. These projects typically involve the replacement and or rehabilitation of sanitary and combined sewer infrastructure. This is one of two construction administration and inspection services contracts that will be modified to fund services for 2005 construction projects administered by the Sewer System Engineering Section. The other firm is R.D. Zande & Associates, Inc.

2. CONTRACT MODIFICATION INFORMATION:
This contract was originally procured to provide services for the fiscal years of 2002-2004. However, due to delays in funding these projects, the Division was unable to execute this additional award until FY 2005. The Division anticipates undertaking a new procurement in early 2005 for the replacement of these contract services. The contract total including this modification is $1,940,680.25. The Division has determined that it is appropriate to augment city personnel by utilizing these contracted services on a routine basis. The cost of these services is consistent with those provided for under the existing agreement.

3. FISCAL IMPACT:
The majority of the projects funded within this modification will be funded utilizing the receipts of loan proceeds from the financial assistance received from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF). Two of the projects will be funded with residual proceeds from within the 1991 Voted Sanitary Bond Fund as these projects were not recommended for WPCLF funding.
