Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract with Burgess & Niple, Inc. for purposes of providing professional engineering services in connection with the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant B-Plant Final Clarifier Upgrade Project. This legislation also includes provisions for a fund transfer and amendment to the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget.
This project will provide for renovation and improvement of the final clarifiers in the "B-Plant", one of the two wet stream process trains at the plant. Similar improvements were made to the clarifiers of the "A-Plant." The project goal is to replace deteriorated equipment, and make improvements to process operation and control.
The award of this project was delayed so that the results of a comprehensive engineering evaluation was substantially completed. This evaluation, known as The 2005 Wet Weather Management Plan has identified a need to expand the plants' capacity for purposes of accommodating higher flow rates during wet weather, as part of the overall program to reduce the occurrences of sewer system overflows agreed to within the consent order between the State of Ohio and the City. The portion of those improvements that fall in the immediate area of this project's work are a logical addition to the work of this project, and have been included in the scope of work for this proposed engineering contract. The improvements provide for increasing the aeration process inlet and outlet pip recommendations of the 2005 Wet Weather Management Plan study are general and preliminary, and may be revised as additional study work continues.
