Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify City Auditor's Contract No. EL000882 with the Complete General Construction Company for the North Central Sewer Separation, N. of Maple St., E. of Neil Ave. Project which is required to adjust the final project contract pay items to those actually used in the field.
2. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT MODIFICATION: The amount of this contract modification is $14,251.37. The contract total, including this modification is $685,774.32. Based upon actual construction and field conditions, new items were necessary for the successful completion of the subject project. This additional work was a direct, logical extension of the work included in the original contract and it was not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity under contract and undertake continuation of the work under a new procurement. The prices contained within this contract modification were deemed reasonable by Division of Transportation inspection personnel, and have subsequently been agreed to by the contractor.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting City Council to declare this legislation an emergency measure so that payment can be made to the contractor for additional work that was required in order to successfully complete the project.
4. FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance further requests the transfer of residual funds from within the 1991 Voted Sanitary Bond Fund for purposes of providing funding for this expenditure.
