Explanation

The Department of Public Utilities entered into a contract with GSP/OH, Inc. to provide guidance through an Environmental Management System (EMS) development and implementation process and provide environmental management system development and implementation assistance when requested by the Department. The EMS establishes a well-defined environmental program structure, through the identification of roles and responsibilities of DPU staff and the adoption of policies, training, and procedures, to achieve long-term environmental regulatory compliance and reduce the Department's overall environmental impact. This contract was the result of a Request for Proposal received on July 31, 2008. The original contract covers a three-year period with each phase subject to review and approval by the City Council, the Mayor, and the Auditor's certification of funds. Phase 1 covers the period commencing on December 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009. Phase 2 covers the period commencing on January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 for a grand total of $300,000.00.

The sole purpose of the modification is to increase the maximum monetary obligation. All terms and conditions of the original agreement remain in full force and effect.
