Explanation
1. Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrade - General Program, Project 650360-100001. The Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $4,840,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $6,840,000.00.
The contract provides engineering and technical assistance with planning, designing, constructing and operating facilities under the Division's capital improvements program. This contact was initiated in 2010 to provide services for a six (6) year period, and is being funded incrementally. The approximate annual funding by contract modification was planned and was explained in the original contract's legislation. The proposed modification will provide funding for services estimated to be needed through April, 2012. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity currently under contract and undertake continuation of these services with another provider. 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.
