Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract modification to the Sewer System Engineering Section's General Engineering Services Agreement with DLZ Ohio, Inc. This modification will increase the funding of the contract services by an additional $250,000.00 for professional engineering, survey and technical services that are utilized to replace, rehabilitate or expand existing sanitary and combined sewer infrastructure under both emergency and expedited circumstances. This is one of two general engineering service contracts that the Sewer System Engineering Section utilizes. The other firm is R.D. Zande & Associates, Inc.

2. CONTRACT MODIFICATION INFORMATION:
This contract was originally procured to provide services for the fiscal years of 2001-2003. However, the Division was able to utilize the original funding for the first three years without requesting funds in 2002 or 2003. This funding request will be the last modification for this contract. The Division anticipates undertaking a new procurement in early 2005 for the replacement of these contract services. The contract total including this modification is $500,000.00. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by city personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis. The cost of these services is consistent with those provided for under the existing agreement.

3. FISCAL IMPACT:
This modification will be funded utilizing $150,000.00 of 1991 Voted Bond Funds for purposes of providing payment of work specific to capital improvements. An additional $100,000.00 will be funded from the Sewer System Operating Fund for general survey, smaller scope projects; and other technical services. The project account funds transferred within this ordinance are residual funds from two projects that will be funded through an OWDA loan.
