Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Dynamix Engineering, Ltd. for professional services for the design and construction administration of the life safety systems emergency generator at the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street. Ordinance No. 1191-2011, passed by City Council on July 26, 2011, authorized a contract for professional services for the design and construction of emergency generators for the Division of Fire and the Columbus Public Health Department.
This modification is necessary to provide for design specifications and construction administration for a life safety systems emergency generator replacement at the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street. The current generator was installed in 1970 and is past its useful life. The work will be executed on behalf of the Office of Construction Management, in order to meet the operational needs of said facility. Due to the fact that Dynamix Engineering Ltd. was awarded the original contract, a modification with Dyanmix Engineering, Ltd. is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project.
Emergency action is requested to allow this project to proceed in a timely manner so that the facility has an emergency generator as quickly as possible, thereby reducing the likelihood of long interruptions in electrical service.
Dynamix Engineering Ltd. Contract Compliance No. 31-1536631; expiration date August 31, 2012.
Fiscal Impact: This legislation authorizes the expenditure of $18,700.00 from the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund.
