Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional construction management services agreement with H.R. Gray & Associates, Inc. for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant New Headworks Project. The H.R. Gray & Associates, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $2,872,864.00. The contract total including this modification is $8,192,261.00. This modification is for additional construction management services resulting from the January, 2005 site flooding and is required to properly monitor the contractor's schedule recovery efforts, evaluate the merits of the Contractor's site dewatering claim, and evaluate the construction of a site flood protection levee and the stabilization alternatives for the Big Walnut Outfall Sewer. The severity of the wet weather events and site flooding experienced could not be foreseen, and it is not practical or feasible to undertake a new procurement to deliver these services. A supplemental loan for these purposes has been received from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Fund. This legislation will additionally authorize the expenditure of funds from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund.

B. Contract Compliance No.: 311050479 (MAJ)

C. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested.


2. FISCAL IMPACT:

The Division will be receiving financial assistance for the project via a WPCLF Loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority. The Division has included requests for the appropriation of the loan proceeds in companion legislation hereto, Ordinance No. 2299-2006. Sufficient authority is in the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget.


3. PROJECT LOCATION:

This project is located at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant.
