Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract modification of the professional engineering services agreement with Pomeroy & Associates, Ltd. for the Lockbourne Road Sanitary Sewer Improvements Assessment Project, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.

This contract modification will fund detailed design efforts required for this project. These activities will include plan revision due to the needed relocation of the proposed sanitary sewer; the addition of engineering services during construction; and preparation of bidding documents and specifications. The contractor, Pomeroy & Associates, Ltd., has requested a modification amount of $39,996.00 under this ordinance. The contract total including this modification is $127,248.50.

The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services in the project scope of services. The work under this contract modification is a planned update to be done as part of the final plan preparation. The modification allows for certain increased rates and fees by the Contractor due to extensive delay in the project. During the initial design phase of this project in 2001 the Division of Transportation determined that specific roadwork had to be completed in the work area before the subject sanitary work could be properly done. The unexpected roadwork process took approximately six years. The adjustment in costs is reasonable to current standards and necessary to allow for the Contractor to complete their professional engineering services contract. This legislation will additionally authorize the expenditure of funds within the Voted Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund.
