Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the professional engineering services agreement with Dynamix Engineering Ltd. for the 910 Dublin Road and 3568 Indianola Avenue Building Improvements Project, Division of Power and Water Contract No. 1145.

This project is for the evaluation and potential design of improvements to the Division of Power and Water's 910 Dublin Road Administrative Building and 3568 Indianola Avenue Building. The Building Improvements project is a three step project.

The first phase included the evaluation of the 910 Dublin Road building HVAC system, façade/windows, and ADA compliance for access to the building and its restrooms. Additionally, Dynamix Engineering Ltd. completed an analysis for 3568 Indianola Avenue to determine various options for housing the Meter Operations group which currently work out of that facility. Phase one is now complete and Dynamix has made recommendations for necessary upgrades and improvements for each building. With approval of Dynamix's recommendations by the City, phase two will consist of modifying the agreement for design services.

Modification No. 1 will provide for phase two, which include design services of the approved improvements at 910 Dublin Road and design of fire protection/fire alarm systems for the 3568 Indianola Avenue facility. The building improvements that will be designed under this contract modification will provide substantial energy savings with the increased efficiency of the HVAC system to be designed as well as increased efficiency of the plumbing fixtures. This project will also provide improved social impacts with the design of ADA compliant building access and public restroom facilities. Design of the fire alarm/fire suppression modifications and a PA system for the buildings will reduce the risks of loss of life and property under emergency situations.
