Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant New Headworks Project. The Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $1,525,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $15,140,900.00. These additional funds will provide for the cost of several changes in contract work that have become necessary to complete the construction and to settle a Contractor's claim for compensation for Project Schedule delay due to multiple changes to the original work. Due to the complex and comprehensive nature of this project, this additional work could not be foreseen, and it is not practical or feasible to undertake a new procurement to deliver these services. This legislation will additionally authorize the expenditure of funds within the Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 311023518 (MAJ)
C. Emergency Designation: The Division of Sewerage and Drainage hereby requests City Council to concur in the designation of this ordinance as an emergency measure, in order to assure that the construction contract work may continue uninterrupted and avoid possible delays, thereby assuring minimum final costs to the City in the establishing these vital plant facilities.
2. FISCAL IMPACT: Monies for these projects were included in the recent bond sale and sufficient authority is in the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget. A transfer and amendment is needed to place the amounts in the correct project.
3. PROJECT LOCATION: This project is located at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant.
