AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
AMEND THE AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL
WATER MAIN CLEANING COMPANY FOR THE
CLEANING AND INSPECTION OF SEWER
SYSTEMS WITHIN OUTFALL 24 DRAINAGE AREA
Whereas, by letter dated October 23, 2024, the Commissioner of the Department of Public Works has requested legislation authorizing the Mayor to amend the agreement with National Water Main Cleaning Company for Project No. 122022-1, “Outfall 24 - Sewer System Cleaning and Inspection,” to increase the total contract amount by $700,000, for a new total of $2,361,800; and
Whereas, the City of Mount Vernon is committed to maintaining and improving its sewer system to ensure compliance with state and federal environmental regulations; and
Whereas, Project No. 122022-1, relating to the cleaning and inspection of sewers within the Outfall 24 drainage area, was awarded to National Water Main Cleaning Company on May 2, 2023, for $1,661,800, as the lowest responsive bidder; and
Whereas, the total sewer length in the Outfall 24 drainage area was initially estimated at 200,000 feet, but after further inspection, it was determined that the actual length is closer to 240,000 feet; and
Whereas, the amount of heavy cleaning required within this drainage area has also exceeded original estimates; and
Whereas, in order to complete the remaining sewer cleaning and inspection, an additional $700,000 is necessary, bringing the total project cost to $2,361,800; and
Whereas, this project is partially funded by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) 2021 Water Quality Improvement Program Grant (WQIP); and
Whereas, the City is required to complete this work under the terms of a Consent Order, with a deadline for completion set for May 2025, making rebidding of the project impractical; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved That
The City of Mount Vernon, in City Council convened, does hereby ordain and enact:
Section 1. Authorization to Amend Agreement. The Mayor is hereby authorized to amend the agreement with National Water Main Cleaning Company for Project No. 122022-1, “Outfall 24 - Sewer System Cleaning and Inspection,” to increase the total contract amount by $700,000, for a new total of $2,361,800.
