Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional engineering services agreement with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton (EMH&T) for the Franklinton Area Stormwater System Improvements Project, in an amount up to $2,528,145.64, for Division of Sewerage & Drainage, Stormwater Section CIP No. 610910-100001.

The City of Columbus Division of Sewerage and Drainage (DOSD) initiated CIP 610910-100001 to develop master planning and detailed design plans for constructing storm sewers and/or detention facilities to improve stormwater system capacity in the Franklinton Area. The goal of this project is to mitigate street and structural flooding caused by insufficient capacity of the Renick Run storm sewer system, south of I-70 and north of Renick Run Pump Station. The project area is bounded on the north by I-670, south by Hart Rd, west by Wheatland Ave. and east by SR-315 and I-71 freeway.

The Community Planning Area: 54 - Franklinton

2. FUTURE MODIFICATION(S): Phase II is anticipated to follow Phase I, Phase I having an anticipated completion date of September 2020.

3. TIMELINE:
Notice To Proceed: June 2019
Phase I Completion: September 2020
Phase II Completion: December 2021
Construction Completion: December 2025

4. ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT:
Franklinton Area is one of the Blueprint areas where Green Infrastructures will be constructed along with sanitary inflow/infiltration reduction. The insufficient storm sewer capacity prohibits installation of green infrastructure because of lack of free flow outlets. The Renick Run storm sewer system is also downstream of a Designed Sanitary Relief. Increasing capacity and mitigating street flooding will also mitigate the frequency of combined sewer overflow to the streets. By improving storm sewer capacity, this project will mitigate street flooding and encoura...
