CONTRACT AWARD

• Aramark Uniform Services - Headquarters Maintenance Contracted Services - Facilities Services. Uniform services for all EWEB sections for five years as detailed in Bid No. 060-2000. The annual amount for services will vary depending on use but should not exceed $17,000 per year. These costs are budgeted by the using sections on an annual basis. The types of services included providing laundering and repairing overalls, walk-off mats, lab coats, towels, linens for EWEB first air rooms, and shop rags. Costs for future years will be budgeted in each section's budget as they occur. Contact person for this is Charlie Morris, 484-2411, ext. 3223.
• Bond Counsel - Foley & Lardner - Finance Division. Contract award for three years pursuant to an RFP for bond counsel services. Contractor possesses specialized expertise in the area of telecommunication financing and private use regulations of the IRS code pertaining to tax exempt financing of public/private joint ventures. Cost is $300,000 over the next three years. Contact person is Jim Origliosso, 484-3753.

CONTRACT INCREASE

• Relicensing Leaburg-Walterville - Electric Division.
  • EWEB discovered that the rollgates at the Leaburg facility may be over stressed at the current lake level. We need approximately $125,000 to complete the necessary studies and designs to correct the problem and/or allow for the proposed lake raise.
  • When we entered into the original contract in 1998, we anticipated that EWEB staff would perform a certain amount of engineering work. It has since been determined that the Montgomery Watson should do more of the engineering in support of our staff. Approximately $70,000 is for assistance in automation of Leaburg-Walterville facilities.
  • A new design of ao conceptual water diversion for the Walterville project is necessary. The new license requires EWEB and the fishery agencies to consider a weir design in addition to the concrete diversion design. EWEB and the agencies prefer the new conceptual design of large rock structures. The new design requires additional engineering work totaling $87,000.
  • The Walterville fish screen return pipeline also requires an additional $21,000 of design work to look at alternative routes and designs.

This totals more than the requested $217,08. The net amendment cost has been trimmed by reducing levels of work and scopes in other task areas of the contract. See the attached table for more detailed information. Contact person is Gale Banry, 484-2411, ext. 3413.
