Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract and a professional engineering services contract modification, and to encumber funds with the Transportation Division for testing and prevailing wage coordination services for the Bliss Run Relief Trunk Sewer Phase 2 Project. The construction contract ($6,807,291.43) will be awarded to the Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. The professional engineering services contract modification ($637,708.00), with Camp, Dresser & McKee, is to provide for construction administration and inspection services. The amounts encumbered for testing and prevailing wage services will be $15,000.00 and $1,000.00 respectively.

2. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AWARD: The Director of Public Utilities publicly opened three competitive bids on July 23, 2003. The three bidders were Kokosing Construction Co., Inc.; Complete General Construction Co.; and George J. Igel & Co., Inc.

3. PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES MODIFICATION: Bliss Run is a multi-phase project where one phase must be completed before the next phase may proceed. It is now time to begin constructing Phase 2. This modification, which will provide for construction inspection and administration services, is a required, planned component of the construction contract. The professional engineering services contract amount including this modification is $3,639,666.00.

4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting City Council to designate this ordinance an emergency measure in order to allow for the immediate execution of the subject contract pursuant to the successful construction of this urgently needed stormwater infrastructure. This project is a primary part of the Division's comprehensive plan to address localized flooding issues for an expansive area of the east side of Columbus.
