Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Knight Electric for the installation of emergency generators for five Fire Stations and the Impound Lot.
Ordinance No. 2883-2014, passed on December 18, 2014, authorized the original contract for the installation and replacement of outdated backup electrical generators for the Impound Lot at 2700 Impound Road, and the Division of Fire at the following five locations: Fire Station No. 5 at 211 McNaughten Road; Fire Station No. 22 at 3069 Parsons Avenue; Fire Station No. 23 at 4451 Livingston Avenue; Fire Station No. 25 at 739 West 3rd Avenue; and Fire Station No. 27 at 7560 Smokey Row Road. Ordinance No. 2428-2015, passed October 21, 2015, authorized a modification of the contract for the installation of new gas lines for work required of Columbia Gas and associated with new gas lines needed for Fire Stations No. 5, No. 22, and No. 27. A modification of the contract is necessary due to unforeseen work required of Columbia Gas for new gas piping, venting, and isolation vales needed for Fire Stations No. 5, No. 22, and No. 27.
Knight Electric has institutional knowledge of the project as it has been performing the installation. The most practical and cost effective solution for the coordination and continuity of the project is to modify this contract so that the work can be completed. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested so the Impound Lot and fire stations will remain in operation during power outages, thereby ensuring ongoing and unimpeded services to the residents of Columbus.
Knight Electric Contract Compliance No. 31-1409432
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this contract is $6,933.00.
