Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned modification of the professional engineering services contract with Brown and Caldwell Ohio, LLC in connection with the Sanitary System Overflow Elimination Project. This contract is for the development and implementation of a Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance (CMOM) Program as required by the Consent Order entered into between the City of Columbus and the State of Ohio in August of 2002 to address the City's Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) throughout its collection system. This contract has always been planned as a multi-year contract with annual modifications until complete development of a sustainable CMOM Program that addresses all requirements of the State Consent Order. These services are of a highly specialized and technical nature, and it is not practical or economical to have these services performed by city personnel. The budget estimate for this work thus far is approximately $22,286,249.34, and will involve future contract modifications. These proposed costs were reviewed by division engineering personnel and have been deemed to be reasonable and appropriate.

This modification will continue to refine the work done on the System Evaluation, and Capacity Assurance Plan (SECAP). The final draft of this document which outlines the city's capital projects to address SSO's over the next 40+/- years was submitted to the OEPA in July, 2005. Brown and Caldwell will assist the City in addressing any comments or questions received from OEPA regarding this document. This work may include additional hydraulic computer modeling, field work, records research, etc.
