Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities would like to enter into the seventh modification of contract EA024824 with Decker Construction Company, for the Utility Cut and Restoration Project, whose focus is to repair damaged items such as pavements, curbs, and sidewalks. The Contract Compliance Number for Decker Construction Company is 31-0983557. They do not have MBE/FBE status.

It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, as modification #6 only included funds to cover through August 2004.

1. The Division needs an additional $302,000.00. The original contract was established for $350,000.00. The total amount of the original contract and seven modifications is $3,962,747.00.
2. The amount of additional funds was foreseen at the time of modification #6. We encumbered funds to pay invoices only through August as our Administration had questions about the contract. The issues have been resolved and we are legislating funds to cover us through August 2005.
3. Work under this modification is a continuation of services performed by the company over the last several years. It would be unreasonable to bid this service out as we have a positive relationship with Decker Construction, who knows our processes and what needs to be done to our satisfaction.
4. Decker Construction is holding over the same prices from modification number four.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Water allocated $500,000.00.00 in its 2004 Budget for these services. This is the second piece of legislation for Decker this year.

$ 490,000.00 was encumbered for these services during 2003.
$ 850,000.00 was encumbered for these services during 2002.
