Explanation

BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract with URS Corporation for the Group 3 Water Line Improvements Project, Division of Power and Water Contract No. 939.

To date the consultant has completed the preliminary design of fourteen locations where water mains are to be replaced and existing water mains are to be abandoned. The project was delayed for several years and for various reasons including the current ODOT project that overlaps a portion of the project limits. This modification provides for updating the project design to current standards and specifications and revising alignments to meet the Mound Harrisburg Project (Contract 915), which was delayed due to ODOT improvements.

1. Amount of additional funds to be expended: $69,000.00
Original Contract Amount: $97,000.00
Amount of original contract and this modification: $166,000.00

2. Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen:
During the original RFSQ and RFP, road construction by ODOT was not anticipated. ODOT determined a road reconstruction project was needed on sections of Harrisburg Pike during the development of the water main plans. This delayed and complicated the water main design.

3. Reason other procurement processes are not used:
All work to be completed was a part of the original contract.

4. How cost of modification was determined:
An engineer's estimate was submitted by the consultant and reviewed by the Division of Power and Water Engineering Staff and deemed reasonable.

Contract Compliance Information: 34-0939859, expires 8/31/09, Majority

FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient funding within the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund.
