Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services contract with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton, Inc. (EMH&T), for the Bliss Run Trunk Sewer Improvements, Phase 3 project. The modification amount requested under this ordinance is $99,450.00. The contract total including this modification is $612,964.00. These additional monies will fund the costs of the continuation of the professional engineering (construction administration) services performed on the project. The construction contractor was unable to complete construction work within the original Contract timeframe due to a variety of reasons. The approved Contract completion date for the Construction Contractor, including all approved extensions, was December 3, 2007. The Contractor requested an extension of the Contract with a new contract completion date of May 1, 2008, which would also be for engineering services. 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.: 31-0685594 (Majority | Expiration 11/02/2009)

C. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested.


2. FISCAL IMPACT:

There is sufficient cash and authority within the Storm Sewer Bond Fund for this modification.
