Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of an additional amount of $500,000 from the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Fund for the design and construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project; authorizing the Mayor to amend the engineering contract with Tetra Tech, Engineer of Record, to provide additional professional engineering, metering and testing, inspection, construction management, and other services related to the construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project; authorizing the Mayor to waive the competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187 for the continuation of Tetra Tech’s professional engineering, metering and testing, inspection, construction management and other services related to the construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 519-23 authorized the appropriation and expenditure of $750,000 for the design and construction of the Ogontz Pump Station in South Toledo. The new pump station will redirect the sewage flow from a South Toledo subdivision to the Toledo’s collection system instead of the Maumee’s collection system. The Division contracted with Tetra Tech as the sole engineering bidder to provide design engineering services for the Ogontz Pump Station Project. During the design phase, Tetra Tech encountered sewage flow metering and testing challenges, which require additional engineering services to properly size the new pump station. The Division would like to retain Tetra Tech as the Engineer of Record to provide professional engineering services during the bidding and construction phases of the project. Recently, Tetra Tech estimated the cost of design and construction plus contingency at $1,250,000, which would require the addition of $500,000 to the amount that was authorized by Ordinance 519-23. The Division is therefore requesting the waiver of all competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187 in order to allow Tetra Tech as the Engineer of Record to provide professional engineering, metering and testing, inspection, construction management, and other services related to the construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the appropriation of an additional amount of $500,000 is authorized from the unappropriated balance of the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Fund into Account Code 6073-36000-4UC5523STDSTD for the design and construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project; and the expenditure of the same is authorized.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to amend the engineering contract with Tetra Tech as the Engineer of Record to provide additional professional engineering, metering and testing, inspection, construction management, and other services related to the construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest for the City to waive all competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187 in order to allow Tetra Tech as the Engineer of Record to provide additional professional engineering, metering and testing, inspection, construction management, and other services related to the construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project.
SECTION 4. That the Mayor is authorized to advertise for construction bids and award contracts for the construction of the Ogontz Pump Station Project, upon terms and conditions approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
