Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a zero dollar contract modification to extend the contract term for one year for professional engineering services with HDR Engineering, Inc. for the DOSD Electrical Upgrades Program, CIP #650346-100003, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage (DOSD).
The purpose of this project is to identify and plan replacement of electrical infrastructure that is no longer supported or no longer has commercially available spare parts. Equipment that is no longer supported represents increased risk of failure and permit violations at Jackson Pike Waste Water Treatment Plant, Southerly Waste Water Treatment Plant, Southwest Composting Facility, and Collection System Pump Stations.
The original contract was a three year contract starting in 2021 and ending with the final closeout of work assigned prior to the end of the contract work assignment window in 2024, specifically May 19, 2024. The work for this contract was delayed in starting due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This extension is needed to give DOSD time to evaluate the work that has been delivered to this point to determine if the contract can deliver the needed information or if the contract needs to be cancelled. It is anticipated it will take the rest of the calendar year to make this decision. If the decision is the contract cannot deliver the needed information, the contract will be cancelled. If the decision is the contract can deliver the needed information, a future modification will be needed to extend the contract term and add the planned funding modifications.
