Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering services agreement with Chester Engineers, in the amount of $404,599.33 for professional engineering services for the Upper Scioto West Air Quality Improvements Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.

This project will design a replacement for the existing Air Quality Control Facilities on the Upper Scioto West Interceptor Sewer located at shafts 2 and 11. The new facilities will be more compartmentalized enabling the Division of Sewerage and Drainage to maintain both air quality control facilities more efficiently and effectively. There is only one phase planned for the project which shall be for a period of 18 months.

Economic and Environmental Impact:
This project is being completed largely in part due to community input and the number of odor complaints in the area, which has risen over the last few years. By evaluating the existing bio-filters and constructing the necessary changes to address their deficiencies, the City will be improving the environment of the neighborhoods in and around the bio-filters while fostering a better working relationship with the surrounding community.

Procurement Information: The Division sent a Request for Proposals (RFP) on the City of Columbus's Vendor Services website and in the City Bulletin in accordance with the provisions of Section 329.14 of Columbus City Codes. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage opened three requests for proposals on February 18, 2011.
