Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Ribway Engineering Group, Inc., for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant New Effluent Pump Station and Effluent Conduit Project. The Ribway Engineering Group, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $543,075.00. The contract total including this modification is $5,895,775.00. The proposed contract modification provides funding for additional detailed design tasks that became necessary in the course of the design development and for additional Services during Construction and Commissioning tasks for Contract S71. The potential need for this work was foreseen and so stated in the original contract's legislation, and is therefore a planned continuation of the services originally included within the existing contract's scope of service.

This Contract Modification No. 2 is a planned continuation of the services included within the existing contract's scope of service.
Reason other procurement processes are not used:
The majority of this work was planned and due to the highly complex and technical nature of this wastewater treatment plant infrastructure, it is not reasonable or cost efficient to undertake a new procurement effort to acquire these services.
