Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Handling and Dewatering Improvements Project. The Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $583,200.00. The contract total including this modification is $15,083,280.00.
These additional monies will fund the cost of needed additions to the contract work that have become necessary to complete the Sludge Handling and Dewatering Improvements construction project. Due to the complex and comprehensive nature of the facilities and equipment associated with this project, additional work beyond the original contract scope is needed to ensure the successful integration of the new equipment with existing equipment and appurtenances. At the current time, division engineering and the City's construction manager are confident that the funds authorized by this contract modification will be sufficient to complete the scope of work, and ensure optimum operational use of this infrastructure.
