Title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH VITO GIRONDA CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA WATER LINE FLOW METER PROJECT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Executive Summary: This project involves the installation of a new flow sensor on the existing City of Hudson 8" water main along SR 303 that is located within the Village of Boston Heights. This sensor will notify the Public Works Department if there is a sudden change in the waterline (i.e. velocity) to alert them of the issue in order to minimize the loss of water within the system due to its topographic elevation.

The City Administration is requesting City Council approval to authorize the City Manager to award and enter into a contract with Vito Gironda Construction Company for the Boy Scouts of America Water Line Flow Meter Project. The Engineering Staff is requesting a 10% contingency for any unforeseen issues that may arise during construction for a total amount of $27,197.50
Total Contract = $24,725 (base) + $2,472.50 (contingency) = $27,197.50
To reduce cost and time on the project, the City has purchased the flow meter directly from the supplier, obtained the permit from Ohio Edison and is hiring the City's SCADA contractor, Summit Office Solutions. The SCADA equipment is necessary to take the data from the flow meter and apply it to the City's existing computer/phone metering system. The total cost for these 3 items and project advertising totaled $12,620.00. With these items, the total project cost is at $39,818.50 putting us over the budgeted amount of $35,000.00. The City is requesting that Council approve a 4th quarter appropriation in the amount of $4,818.00 to cover the overages on this project and allow us to move forward with construction.
Timing Considerations
Upon authorization to proceed by City Council, the administration will award and enter into a contract with Vito Gironda Construction Company for the above amounts.
