Explanation

1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract modification for professional engineering services during construction with Advanced Engineering Consultants, Ltd. for the Southerly Waste Water Treatment Plant (SWWTP) East Aeration Control Building (EAC) HVAC & Air Purification project, CIP #650372-100000, in an amount up to $542,574.00.

The HVAC & Air Purification Units in the Southerly Waste Water Treatment Plant East Aeration Building are nearing the end of their operational life, leading to inefficiencies and maintenance challenges. The original contract provided preliminary design to address the challenges of the aging systems. Renewal No. 1 for Step 2 services, expanded the project's scope to include Detailed Design to include generating detailed plans and specifications, bid documents, construction contract documents, and other design phase services, alongside a crucial expansion to include a full roof replacement due to the deteriorated state of the existing roof. This modification, Modification 1 for Step 3 Services, will involve Engineering Services during Construction, providing critical oversight for the installation of new systems and the roof, ensuring precision and adherence to stringent construction standards and schedules.

This project is coded as “99 - Citywide”.
