Explanation

BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the construction contract with George J. Igel & Co., Inc. for the Reservoir Pollution Reduction Project, for the Division of Power and Water. This project was funded from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), also known as the federal stimulus bill.

According to the Ohio EPA, this project was awarded additional ARRA stimulus funding. Since the Division of Power and Water was only going to receive $4,500,000.00 in ARRA stimulus funding, deductions were taken against the base bid amount in the original contract. Now that the Division is receiving additional funding, some of these deductions can be omitted and additional items can be performed.

The total amount of this modification is $85,339.66, a 1.84% increase to the original contract.

1. Amount of additional funds to be expended: $85,339.66
Original Contract Amount: $4,558,275.40
Amount of original contract and this modification: $4,643,615.06

2. Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen:
The Division was just notified by the Ohio EPA that this project was awarded additional ARRA stimulus funding.

3. Reason other procurement processes are not used:
The Division is receiving extra ARRA stimulus funding for this project. Since deductions had to be made against the base bid amount in the original contract, additional items are now able to be performed by the contractor, George J. Igel & Co., Inc. They were the best, lowest, most responsive responsible bidder.

4. How cost of modification was determined:
The Division is omitting various deduct options that were originally deducted from the original contract.
