Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the construction contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Skimmings Concentrator System Improvements Project. The Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $350,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $5,547,500.00. These additional monies will fund the cost of needed additions to the contract work, which includes the unforeseen delaminated condition of the Sludge Thickening Building floor and other associated costs for needed additions to the contract work that have become necessary to complete the Skimmings Concentrator System Improvements construction, the total of which would exceed the contract contingency amount. 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.: 311023518 (MAJ) (Expires 03/14/2010)
C. Emergency Designation: The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting City Council to designate this ordinance an emergency measure in order to allow for the immediate commencement of this work. This expediency is justified in order to assure that the construction contract work may continue uninterrupted and avoid possible delays and to assure minimum final costs to the City in establishing these vital plant facilities.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance authorizes the transfer of funds from within the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund for this expenditure. Also, the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget will be amended for this expenditure upon passage of this ordinance.
