Explanation
Background: The Public Service Department is currently engaged in a project to install backup generators at several locations to provide standby power for critical emergency operations. The ice storm that occurred in December, 2005 caused power outages at several City facilities; which, in turn, resulted in severely disrupting Public Service operations at three locations, spedcifically 2100 Alum Creek Drive, 650 Nationwide Boulevard, and 1820 E. 17th Avenue. The purpose of this legislation is to modify and increase the construction contract with Dynalectric Company of Ohio, Contract Compliance#: 13-3636476 (expiring 3/20/09) for the Standby Generator, Contract 2 project in an amount up to $75,980.00. The modification is due to unanticipated conditions encountered in the field by Dynalectric which required them to perform work that is beyond their original contractual obligations. Prices were obtained through negotiations with Dynalectric Company of Ohio using existing pricing of materials, estimated labor times, and past project prices for new items.
Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of this construction contract in order for this project to be completed before winter.
The original contract amount was: $ 688,251.00
The total of Modification No. 1 is: $ 75,980.00
The contract amount including all modifications is: $ 764,231.00
Fiscal Impact: Funds are budgeted in the 2007 Capital Improvement Budget for this project and available from the Voted 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund for the Transportation Division.
