Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with R.D. Zande & Associates, Inc. for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Support Facilities, Project 650344. The R.D. Zande & Associates, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $2,765,117.00. The contract total including this modification is $3,276,761.00. The proposed contract modification provides funding for detailed design services now needed. The potential need for this work was foreseen and so stated in the original contract's legislation, and is therefore a planned continuation of the services originally included within the existing contract's scope of service. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity currently under contract and undertake continuation of these services with another procurement. The cost of the modification is a continuation of the vendor's current pricing structure, as verified by City staff. 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 on a routine basis.
B. Contract Compliance No.: 31-1395123/001 (MAJ) (Expires 01/27/2008)
C. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
Monies for this project will be provided from a proposed upcoming Sanitary Sewer Bond Sale. This ordinance requests the transfer of funds within the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund for purposes of providing the necessary additional funds required for this planned contract modification. There will also be an amendment to the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget to provide sufficient budget authority. This legislation will authorize the expenditure of $2,765,117.00 within the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund.
