Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with GPD Group for the Standby Generator, Contract B project. This project is being designed to provide backup power to three Public Service locations considered critical in the event of a power outage.

This contract modification is necessary to compensate the consultant for performing supplemental services of meeting with the supplier of natural gas to three of the four project sites. Columbia Gas required this change after the contract had been agreed to and signed. The work was necessary to satisfy the concerns of Columbia Gas to secure reliable fuel supply for the generators located at 2100 Alum Creek, 650 Nationwide Blvd., and 1820 East Seventeenth Avenue.

This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and it would not be practical to contract with a different consultant.

Current hourly rate, the overhead rate and the percentage of profit that were negotiated at the beginning of this project were used to determine the amount of this modification. GPD Group, CC #34-1134715 expiration 3/1/07, was selected in 2005 in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was $50,000.00. The total of all prior modifications is $0. The total of Modification No. 1 is $2,680.32. The contract amount, including all modifications is $52,680.32.

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract for the earliest possible completion of the design to stay on schedule for construction and preserve the safety and welfare of the public.

Fiscal Impact: This item is not budgeted per se, but funding is available in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Street and Highways Fund due to encumbrance cancellations of completed projects for this modification. The amount of this modification is $2,680.32.
