Grigsby, City Manager h Date: January 19, 2012 Initiated By: Paul A. Hammersmith, P.E., Director of Engineering /City Engineer Barbara Cox, P.E., Engineering Manager Development Memo Re: Resolution 08 -12 - Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with the City of Columbus regarding Water Line Locating Services Background In 2007, the City of Columbus Department of Public Utilities (Columbus) informed the suburban communities to which they provide treated water that they were no longer going to perform the service of locating the public waterlines. Their letter indicated that if a community desired to continue receiving this service from the City of Columbus, additional charges, based on an hourly rate, would be incurred. The need for locating the public waterlines is an important element in the operation of the water distribution system. These locations allow contractors working on a project to know where the infrastructure is and thus minimizes the possibility of damage to the public waterlines. Based on this critical need, the proposed cost, and that Columbus can provide this service most efficiently, staff informed Columbus that Dublin would prefer to continue with Columbus providing this service in our community. Staff worked with the City of Columbus to establish an acceptable invoicing method for this service. Dublin has been paying Columbus for this service since December 2007. On average, Dublin pays $2,122 per month. The cost increases /decreases relative to the amount of construction occurring and seasonally. Summary In the spring of 2011, Columbus sent staff a draft Water Line Locating Services contract. Columbus desires to formalize the agreement to provide these services and to establish the payment on a per ticket basis. The change from an hourly rate to a per ticket rate will increase the cost for Dublin. Attached is a chart showing a comparison of the costs for the use of this service in 2011. For 2012, staff included $45,000 in the operating budget within the Water Fund, under , miscellaneous contractual services," for this work. Engineering and legal staff have reviewed this draft contract. The red -lined version attached depicts the changes staff proposed to Columbus. A clean version is also attached for your review. Staff recommends entering into the agreement as Dublin does not have the staff resources (personnel or equipment) to perform this service in -house and because the proposed rate is competitive to what other contractors would charge to perform this work. Recommendation Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 08 -12, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the City of Columbus regarding Water Line Locating Services.
