Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify an
existing contract for HVAC Specialty Maintenance Services for the Division
of Sewerage and Drainage, in order to continue needed services to the
Division.

This contract is utilized to address maintenance and rehabilitation needs
of HVAC (Heating, Ventilating & Air Conditioning) in all Division facilities,
and is funded annually on the basis of identified and predicted service needs.
Current monies have been provided via previous legislation to execute all
maintenance previously anticipated. However, in July, 2004, an operational
deficiency was noted in the HVAC equipment serving the Stores/Inventory
area of the Sewer Maintenance/Operations Center which requires immediate
servicing, re-allocation of equipment duties, and minor re-arrangement of
ductwork. This work is urgently needed, and is beyond the current capability
of in-house personnel. This legislation provides monies for the immediate
completion of this necessary work.

B. Contract History. The existing contract was bid on April 28, 1999. The low
bidder was Cornerstone Services of Plain City, Ohio, and a contract was
authorized by Ordinance No. 1465-99. The bid documents contemplated
incremental funding of a multi-year contract. The work done by this
contractor to date has been very satisfactory, and has relieved Division
personnel to pursue their core business. It is now proposed to modify
this contract to provide funds for addressing the specific situation given
in 1.A., above, at the City's option.
