Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to accept name and Federal Identification number changes of Fuller, Mossbarger, Scott, & May Engineers (FMSM), as well as R.D. Zande & Associates, Inc. and the assignment of all their present and future contracts with the City of Columbus to Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. These actions are a result of Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.'s acquisition of FMSM and R.D. Zande & Associates, Inc. on December 31, 2007. The Department currently has numerous professional engineering and service agreements with FMSM and R.D. Zande & Associates. Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. will continue to provide the required services in accordance with the existing contract terms and provisions.

2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This legislation will not alter the balances of any of the existing contracts covered by this assignment.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION:
The Department of Public Utilities is requesting City Council to declare this ordinance an emergency measure in order to allow the existing contracts to be assigned to Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.'s vendor number, which is necessary for the subject services to continue without interruption, and to allow financial transactions to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.
