Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation for the Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer - Professional Construction Management Services project, CIP #: 650034-100007. This contract will provide construction administration and management services including: construction inspection, construction and startup coordination, reporting, budgeting, scheduling, document tracking, and other related tasks to ensure the City receives a quality product in conformance with the Contract Documents for the Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer (BCSIS). This BCSIS project consists of the construction of approximately 23,000 linear feet of 120-inch diameter tunnel which approximately follows the alignment of Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road from the existing connection point immediately south of Blacklick Ridge Boulevard, to its northern terminus at Morse Road. The project also includes the construction of a junction chamber at the existing connection point, a launch shaft, and 3 additional shafts along the project alignment, all at depths ranging from 40 to 120 feet.
2. Project Timeline: Services for this multi-year project will begin in June 2015, and will conclude in May 2019.
3. Procurement Information: The Division advertised for an RFP for the Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer - Professional Construction Management Services project on the City of Columbus's Vendor Services website and in the City Bulletin in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 329 of Columbus City Codes. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage received three (3) proposals in December 12th, 2014. The proposal was reviewed and evaluated by the Proposal Evaluation Committee and determined that the proposal met or exceeded the minimum qualifications as stated in the RFP. The three proposals were ranked in the following manner:

6. Economic Impact: The Blacklick Creek Interceptor Sewer will provide additional sewer service capacity to the rapidly expanding New Albany area, which will in turn generate additional sewer revenues. The project will also provide connection points for Jefferson Township to serve customers by gravity sewers, thereby allowing abandonment of several pump stations currently in operation.
