Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrade - General Program, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.

The contract provides engineering and technical assistance with planning, designing, constructing and operating facilities under the Division's capital improvements program. This contact was initiated in 2003 to provide services for a six (6) year period, and is being funded incrementally. The approximate annual funding by contract modification was planned and was explained in the original contract's legislation. The proposed modification will provide funding for services estimated to be needed through December, 2009. The Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $4,650,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $21,493,000.00.

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. 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.

B. Contract Compliance No.: 132653703 (MAJ) (Expires 04/07/2010)

C. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested.
