Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract modification with Hazen and Sawyer P. C. (Hazen and Sawyer) for professional engineering services for the Home Road Water Plant project, CIP #690600-100000, in an amount up to $57,500,000.00.
The Home Road Water Plant (HRWP) project (formerly known as the Fourth Water Plant project) will design and construct a new fourth water plant to meet water supply needs and increase the resiliency and reliability of the water supply system. The HRWP site will be located on City owned property in Delaware County, Concord Township, at the southeast corner of Dublin Road (S.R. 745) and Home Road (C.R. 124).
Work performed to date includes Study Services (Phase 1), Preliminary Design Services (Phase 2), Detailed Design Services (Phase 3) and Initial engineering services during construction for the Site Preparation project. The Phase 1 Study Services researched and evaluated options related to the new water plant and developed a basis of design for the recommended improvements. The project was further developed in Preliminary Design. The preliminary design process advanced the study phase by determining process components, evaluated technology alternatives and developed the design components contained in the final Preliminary Design Report. This report includes: permitting efforts, site/civil design, process design, opinion of probable construction cost, and project schedule updates. The Preliminary Design Report, prepared in this phase, serves as the foundation for developing the detailed design documents in the Detailed Design phase. Detailed Design Services (Phase 3), developed detailed design drawings for the main plant project and also provided initial engineering services during construction for the Site Preparation project.
The project will be implemented in two construction contracts associated with the Home Road Water Plant as follows:
