Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering modification (Mod #1) agreement with Pomeroy and Associates, Inc. for professional engineering services in connection with the Portage Grove Area Sewer Improvements Project.

This modification is for 2013 for new home septic treatment systems that were identified in the area and developed under the City of Columbus Septic Treatment Elimination Program which encourages homeowners to connect to the sanitary sewer. The Septic Treatment Elimination Program was not part of the original scope and this modification will address the additional work associated with it. By addressing the additional homes with this modification, there is a time and cost savings to the City and residents. It will provide for the preparation of construction plans and specifications for the extension of sanitary sewer service to the Portage Grove Area.

This contract will provide a planned modification for construction plans and specification for the extension of sanitary sewer service to the Portage Grove Area project area that is located in the northwest quadrant of the city of Columbus, north of Bethel and Godown Roads.

Amount of additional funds to be expended: $103,454.15
2006 Original Contract Amount $175,385.65 (EL006706, Authorized 1-18-07)
2013 Modification No. 1 (Current) $103,454.15
Current Proposed Total $278,839.80

Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen:
This modification is the second of the five originally planned yearly modifications. This modification's time period covers August 2013 - August 2015.

Reason other procurement processes are not used:
This modification is an extension of the original contract, as originally planned. The city would incur additional cost and time delays by re-bidding this process.
