Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Auditor’s Office to establish an Auditor’s Certificate Purchase Order (ACPO) so purchase orders can be established in relation to the Professional Construction Management Services #3 contract awarded to Ascension Construction Solutions for the Department of Public Utilities.

City Council approved Ordinance 2295-2022 on 9/12/22 awarding the contract for the Professional Construction Management Services #3 Project to Ascension Construction Solutions. This contract will provide Professional Construction Management Services for the wastewater treatment facilities and assist the Division of Sewerage and Drainage in implementing construction of the treatment plant facilities in the Capital Improvement Program. Work for this project includes, but is not limited to, tasks such as schedule management and monitoring construction activity to achieve time and cost control.

The Auditor’s Office assigned ACPO008161 as requested in the ordinance by the Department of Public Utilities, and PO350481 was issued against this ACPO with just one accounting stream. However, due to the nature of this program, an ACPO should have been requested to allow seven purchase orders to be issued, each with its own accounting stream, to track expenses against the seven projects initially assigned to Ascension under this contract. PO350481 has been cancelled so the funds can be used to establish the seven purchase orders needed for the contract.

This project will be in Community Planning Area 99 as the work takes place in various locations across the City.
