Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional engineering services contract with Camp, Dresser and McKee, Inc., in connection with the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Headworks Part 2 Project.

The City of Columbus has developed a Wet Weather Management Plan that identifies the preliminary sewer system and wastewater treatment facility capital improvements needed to fully address the city's wet weather overflows and many basement backup problems across the city.

This project will increase the hydraulic and preliminary treatment capacity of the headworks by adding Grit Tanks #5-8 and modifying Tanks #1-4. It will also provide a new influent flow splitter, modify the existing influent flow splitter and effluent conduits. An East Aeration Mixed Liquor Pump Station will be provided.

2. PROCUREMENT INFORMATION:
The basis for selection of the chosen professional engineering services firm: The Department of Public Utilities advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for six Wastewater Treatment Plant projects in the City Bulletin in accordance with the provisions of Section 329.14 of Columbus City Codes. A single film submitted a detailed proposal for this project to the Director of Public Utilities, on September 8, 2006.

These proposal(s) were reviewed and ranked by a Professional Engineering Services Selection Committee in order to determine the consultant best qualified to provide the services for this project. The committee ranked the proposals on quality, feasibility and cost. After careful consideration, the committee recommended that Camp, Dresser and McKee, Inc., be selected to provide the engineering services for this project, for which the Director of Public Utilities has concurred.

3. FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance requests the transfer of funds within the Voted Sanitary Bond Fund for purposes of providing the additional funds required to award this contract. ...
