Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Handling and Dewatering Improvements Project. This legislation will additionally authorize the expenditure of funds from the supplemental loan from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund.
2. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT MODIFICATION:
The Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $1,398,750.00. The contract total including this modification is $14,500,080.00.

The Division of Sewerage and Drainage requests that City Council concur in the designation of this ordinance as an Emergency measure, in order to assure that the construction contract work may continue uninterrupted and avoid possible delays and to assure minimum final costs to the City in establishing these vital plant facilities.
