Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract to assist the City with managing a capital improvement program consisting of multiple capital improvement projects to ensure project completion in accordance with design requirements and the City’s needs, while serving as a liaison between the construction contractor, design professional (DP), and City personnel. The Professional Construction Management (PCM) team shall furnish all necessary competent personnel, equipment, and materials to perform the work. The services to be provided will vary by project. In general, the type and level of PCM services will reflect the size and complexity of the construction project with more services needed for larger/complex projects and fewer services required for small/less complex projects. This project will be in Community Planning Area 99, as it will benefit the entire City.

The Division of Sewerage and Drainage received two (2) responses for the Waste Water Treatment Facilities (WWTF) Professional Construction Management (PCM) Services #3 Project. The proposals from Smoot and Ascension Construction Solutions were deemed responsive and were evaluated by the Evaluation Committee and scored based on the criteria within Columbus City Code Section 329. The Department of Public Utilities recommends the agreement be awarded to Ascension Construction Solutions.
