Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Handling and Dewatering Improvements Project. The modification amount requested under this ordinance is $59,921.06. The contract total including this modification is $14,969,921.06. These additional monies will fund known costs of needed additions to the contract work that have become necessary to complete the Sludge Handling and Dewatering Improvements construction, the total of which would exceed the 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.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 311023518 (Majority | Expiration 3/16/2008)
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance authorizes the transfer and appropriation of funds from within the Voted Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund, and also allows for an amendment to the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget to establish sufficient funds and budget authority to cover the expenditure upon passage of the ordinance. Monies for this modification are provided from prior cancellations.
