Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Lake Erie Electric, Inc. for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Electrical System Upgrade Project. The Lake Erie Electric, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $227,142.39. The contract total including this modification is $4,837,891.89. These additional monies will fund known costs of needed additions to the contract work that have become necessary to complete the Electrical System Upgrade construction and settle construction claims, the total of which would exceed the original contract contingency amount. Due to the complex and comprehensive nature of this project, this additional work could not be foreseen, and it is not practical or feasible to undertake a new procurement to deliver these services. This legislation also amends the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget and authorizes the expenditure of funds within the Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 341536829
C. Type of Business Enterprise: Majority
D. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
Monies for this project will utilize proceeds from the Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund. There will be sufficient authority in the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget for these expenditures upon passage of this ordinance. The transfer and amendment is needed to place the amounts in the correct project.
3. PROJECT LOCATION:
This project is located at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant.
