Explanation
1. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a construction contract modification with the Mid-Ohio Pipeline Company, Inc., in connection with the Castle Road 16-inch Force Main Discharge Point Relocation Project. The contractor has attempted numerous directional drill installations, but failed to successfully penetrate an unknown, linear formation or obstruction below the I-71 embankment. This modification is necessary to authorize the additional funds required to utilize conventional tunnelling technology to successfully install the subject force main beneath Interstate 71 (I-71), adjacent to Frank Road. The cost of the modification was reviewed by the city's design consultant and division engineering personnel. It was determined to be consistent with tunneling projects of this nature, and it was deemed unnecessary to rebid this work due to the coordination with other project work currently underway by the contractor.

This modification, in the amount of $341,684.83 will increase the contract total to $544,537.03. This project is being funded with a loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority. The additional work will be funded utilizing a supplemental loan.

2. Emergency Designation: The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting this City Council to designate this legislation an emergency measure, in order to allow for the immediate commencement of the tunneling work covered by this contract modification. The completion of this work is necessary to ensure the continued operation of this vital sanitary infrastructure.
