Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract modification to the Sewer System Engineering Section's Construction Administration and Inspection Services Agreement with R. D. Zande & Associates, Inc. This modification will increase the funding of the contract services by an additional $1,032,328.36 for construction administration services for 9 sanitary sewer system projects that are currently being awarded or will be shortly. These projects typically involve the replacement and or rehabilitation of sanitary and combined sewer infrastructure. This is one of two construction administration and inspection services contracts that will be modified to fund services for 2005 construction projects administered by the Sewer System Engineering Section. The other firm is DLZ Ohio, Inc.

2. CONTRACT MODIFICATION INFORMATION:
This contract was originally procured to provide services for the fiscal years of 2002-2004.

The Division anticipates undertaking a new procurement in early 2005 for the replacement of these contract services. The contract total including this modification is $1,940,680.25. The Division has determined that it is appropriate to augment city personnel by utilizing these contracted services on a routine basis. The cost of these services is consistent with those provided for under the existing agreement.

3. FISCAL IMPACT:
The majority of the projects funded within this modification will be funded utilizing residual funds within the Voted Sanitary Bond Fund. Two of the projects will be funded with loan proceeds from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund.

4. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION:
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting Council to pass this ordinance as an emergency measure which is required to allow for the continuation of these servi...
