Explanation


BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Utilities Director to modify an existing contract with ABB, Inc. for the Division of Electricity for the Italian Village Substation to change the design of the GIS bus runs from overhead to underground.

Amount of additional funds to be expended: $89,100.00 (Original Contract Amount: $6,816,910)

Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen: The GIS bus runs were originally designed to be overhead, however, the supports for the overhead did not provide access to the existing site for maintenance, therefore, a modification to change the GIS bus runs to underground is requested.

Reason other procurement processes are not used: ABB, Inc. was awarded the original contract for the Italian Village Substation project based upon the lowest bid received March 3, 2004. It would not be feasible to bid this work separately and would cause a delay in the project.

How cost of modification was determined: A written estimate was provided by ABB, Inc.

Contract Compliance Number: 363100018

Emergency action is requested in order to continue with the design and to keep the project on schedule.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient funding in the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund 553, Italian Village Substation Project 670607 for this expenditure.
