1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Refuse Collection, has the need to construct a stormwater mitigation and remediation system at 2100 Alum Creek Drive. The Alum Creek facility is exposed to stormwater drainage during rainfall events. Due to the nature of the operations at this specific site - truck storage, maintenance and fueling activities - stormwater runoff could be affected by inadvertent spills. The accumulation of anti-freeze, oil, grease, and hydraulic fluids may result in contamination of stormwater runoff to Alum Creek.
The Department of Public Service entered into contract with Prime Engineering and Architecture, Inc. in 2007, authorized by Ordinance No. 0034-2007, to review existing information and to prepare a plan to mitigate and remediate potential damage caused by stormwater runoff at the Division of Refuse collection facility at 2100 Alum Creek Drive.
It is now necessary to modify this contract to provide additional professional services to complete the design of this project and to provide for necessary consultant services during construction.
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase a professional services engineering contract with Prime Engineering & Architecture, Inc. for the Division of Refuse Collection contract for the Alum Creek Stormwater mitigation and remediation project in the amount of $234,763.96.
Work performed to date on this contract includes site visits, meetings with the City, field survey of the site, soil and stormwater sampling and testing, preparation of demolition plans for the existing pulverizer building, site grading plan, site utility plan, presentation of alternative landscaping plans including alternatives for truck washing, investigation of alternatives for treatment of contaminated stormwater and presentation to the City, investigation of alternatives for covering the parking of refuse trucks to eliminate generation of contaminated...
