Explanation
Various types of utility excavations are performed within the City of Columbus' right-of-way by contractors and/or utilities. These entities obtain street opening permits whose fees are used to mitigate the City's cost of restoring these excavations. The Transportation Division routinely contracts this restoration work with a contractor that is equipped and trained to make these repairs to damaged items such as pavement, curb, and sidewalk in a proper and consistent manner. A $450,000.00 contract with Decker Construction Company was authorized by Ordinance 0688-2005 passed by City Council on May 23, 2005. This contract was initially jointly funded by the Transportation and Sewerage and Drainage Divisions. The contract specifications provide for the City establishing the contract amount based on its available funding using the contractor's bid unit costs. It has been determined that an additional $32,320.56 is required from the Sewerage and Drainage Division to cover anticipated contract billings.

Decker's contract compliance number is 31-0983557 and expires July 7, 2006.

Fiscal Impact: The sum of $32,320.56 is budgeted and available within the Sewerage and Drainage Division's Sanitary Operating Fund for this purpose. Including this modification, $1,697,320.56 will have been spent over the past four years for this work.

Emergency action is requested due to the extreme hazard that improperly repaired excavations pose to motorists.
