Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to renew (Renew #1) a professional engineering agreement with Arcadis, U.S., Inc. for the Blueprint Miller Kelton-Newton/Bedford project, CIP 650870-101201. This Sanitary Sewers’ project is being completed as part of the City’s Blueprint Columbus program. This project will construct various types of green infrastructure (GI) throughout the neighborhood which will provide a higher water quality within the region by treating the surface runoff before it discharges to the waterways. The project will also rehabilitate the existing sanitary sewer laterals and install or redirect new roof downspouts so as to reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I) within the sanitary sewer system which will result in fewer water in basements (WIBs), reduced sanitary sewer flows and decreased sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). This contract renewal will provide the funding necessary to conduct additional public meetings and outreach, complete the designs of the GI and private property work as well as the assembly of the bid documents for each of the phases.
To date, the consultant has conducted the required field investigations, property investigations, storm sewer cleaning and televising, hydraulic modeling & alternative analysis to determine the preferred alternative within the Miller Kelton Newton Bedford planning area. The consultants have used this data to assemble the 30% project plans and are currently work towards their 60% plan submittal.
Future work will concentrate on completing the project construction plans, assembling the construction documents, bidding the work and conducting engineering services during construction.
Planning Area: the project is located within the Near East (Miller-Kelton) #62
The Division of Water would like to add funding to this Ordinance for work on their Newton/Bedford Water Line Improvements Project under CIP No. 690236-100120.
