Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify two existing professional services contracts for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant, New Headworks project. The two contracts are as follows:
A. Professional Construction Management Services - H.R. Gray & Associates, Inc.:
1) Existing Contract Amount - $3,064,574.00
2) Additional, this Modification - 2,254,823.00
3) New Contract Total - 5,319,397.00
B. Professional Engineering Services for Design and Construction - Malcolm Pirnie,
Inc.:
1) Current Contract Amount - $12,492,000.00
2) Additional, this Modification - 4,614,000.00
3) New Contract Total - 17,106,000.00
These services are for the management of the construction phase of Contract S67, the Screen and Grit Facililties construction contract at the new headworks, plus an amount for contract B., above, to cover the costs associated with interim construction management services needed to be furnished in the transition period created by the protracted procurement of contract A., above.
2. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT MODIFICATION INFORMATION: The Division of Sewerage and Drainage 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 potential need for additional work was foreseen and so stated in the original contracts' explanations of legislation. The additional work is a direct, logical extension of the work included in the contracts, and is required immediately. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entities currently under contract, and undertake continuation of the work under a new procurement. The cost of each modification is a continuation of the contractors' current pricing structure, as verified by City staff.
