Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract modification to the professional engineering services agreement with Burgess and Niple, Inc. for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant B-Plant Secondary Clarifier Upgrade Project. The Burgess and Niple, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $3,408,252.00. The contract total including this modification is $4,280,442.00.

This contract modification will provide funding for the detailed design services that are now required. The potential need for this work was foreseen and so stated in the original contract's legislation, and is therefore a planned continuation of the services originally included within the existing contract's scope of service. 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 procurement. The cost of the modification is a continuation of the vendor's current pricing structure, as verified by City staff.

2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NO.: 310885550/001 (MAJ) (Expires 01/08/2009)

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION:
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage hereby requests City Council to concur in the declaration of this ordinance as an emergency measure, in order to assure that these important design services continue for the Division's Wet Weather Management Plan infrastructure improvements within the schedule commitments made to Ohio EPA in the City's consent orders.

4. FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance authorizes the transfer and appropriation of funds from the Sanitary Sewer Reserve Fund for this expenditure. The 2007 Capital Improvements Budget is amended for this expenditure upon passage of this ordinance. Monies for this modification are provided from a proposed Fall 2007 Bond Sale via the transfer detailed in this ordinance.
