Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities entered into three contracts with Decker Construction for the Utility Cut and Restoration Project, which includes heat welding, asphalt repairs, and concrete repairs. These contracts were the result of Director's bids received in March 2005. The Division of Water requests authority to modify the contracts for asphalt and concrete repairs. The need for these services has been greater than anticipated due to additional pavement repairs having to be made. The Contract Compliance Number for Decker Construction Company is 31-0983557. They do not have MBE/FBE status.
It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, as funds in the current contracts are almost depleted and these services are necessary to complete repairs and reopen streets.
1. The Division needs an additional $110,000.00 for asphalt repairs and $40,000.00 for concrete repairs. The original contracts were established for $203,200.00 and $52,000.00, respectively. The total amount of the original contracts and this modification is $405,200.00.
2. The amount of additional funds was not foreseen at the time of the original contract. It was estimated that the funds under the original contract would last through the middle of 2006.
3. Work under this modification is a continuation of services included in the scope of the original bid contract.
4. Decker Construction is holding over the same prices from the original contract.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Water allocated $560,000.00 in its 2005 Budget for these services.
$ 200,000.00 was encumbered for these services during 2004.
$ 840,000.00 was encumbered for these services during 2003.
