Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the contract with Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc., in connection with the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Instrumentation and Control System Upgrade Project.

This project is one of the largest and most comprehensive upgrades to the City's Southerly and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plants. When completed, this project will provide a centralized monitoring, control, energy management, and data collection system for each of these plants. Due to the age and complexity of the plants existing electrical and control systems, it has become necessary to adjust the scope of the work to address these changes in order to effectively continue the project. The current revised completion date for this project is anticipated to be November of 2005.

2. PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT MODIFICATION:
The Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $1,436,559.00. The contract total including this modification is $13,331,683.00. The purpose of their original contract was to provide engineering
services for the overall design and implementation of the comprehensive instrumentation and control system for the Jackson Pike and Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plants. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by city personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis. The cost of these services is consistent with those provided for under the existing agreement.

3. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION:
The Division is requesting that this ordinance be declared an emergency measure in order to ensure the immediate continuation of the contract services that are currently underway. Failure to continue services may cause delays in the completion of the contract and potential delay claims on behalf of the construction contractor.
