Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a planned contract modification to the Sewer System Engineering Section's Construction Administration and Inspection Services Agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (formerly RD Zande).

This modification will increase the funding of the contract services by an additional $193,199.91 for construction administration services for four sanitary sewer system projects that are near completion and need additional funding or will shortly. These projects typically involve the replacement and or rehabilitation of sanitary and combined sewer infrastructure. This is one of two construction administration and inspection services contracts for which the Division of Sewerage and Drainage will submit planned, final contract modification requests to Council as they are incrementally funded at such time as the projects move forward into the construction phase.

This will be the final modification for these contract services, as the contract duration will be completed. The Department of Public Utilities has undertaken a competitive procurement for three new, separate contracts with local professional engineering service firms. The Department will be submitting legislation to City Council to award these contracts. These contract services will be available to the Sanitary, Stormwater, and Water enterprise agencies within the Department, and will be incrementally funded as the demand for services is required to be fulfilled.

This contract was originally procured to provide construction administration and inspection services for sanitary and combined sewer projects during the fiscal years of 2005-2007. The funds approved within this legislation will provide for payment of additional services that were needed to conclude ongoing construction projects.
