Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Floyd Browne Group, in the amount of $663,108.00, for professional engineering services for the Nationwide Boulevard Transmission Main Improvements Project, Division of Power and Water Contract No. 1198.
Floyd Browne Group will conduct a condition assessment of the existing infrastructure along Nationwide Boulevard, from the Olentangy River to Hocking Street, as well as designing improvements for the water mains in the area. The water mains include two 36-inch cast iron mains and a 24-inch cast iron main.
The assessment will determine whether or not the mains can be rehabilitated or if they need to be replaced. By having the option of rehabilitation, it will reduce the cost of construction and prolong the life of the existing mains. It will also have less of an impact to the traveling public and the environment. If new mains are required, these new mains would ensure that there would be no leaks or future issues with the roadway construction. This project will enhance the area's ability to be developed by eliminating the older mains that are located outside the right-of-way.
2. BID INFORMATION: The selection of the firm providing the professional engineering services has been performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Columbus City Code, Section 329.14, "Awarding professional service contracts through requests for proposals."
