Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Stantec Consulting Services Inc., in the amount of $200,000.00 for professional engineering services for the Lower Olentangy River Ecosystem Restoration Project, CIP No, 650706, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This project primarily involves the modification or removal of the 5th Ave. Dam and restoration of 10,560 linear feet of the Olentangy River. Ordinance No. 1685-2006 was passed by City Council on October 25, 2006 which authorized the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a 319 grant agreement with the Ohio EPA to assist with the funding of this project in the grant amount of $416,063.00. $200,000.00 (out of $416,063.00) was identified within the grant agreement as the grant portion to fund the Design work for this project. The overall project will include a feasibility study to be conducted and paid for by the United States Army Corps of Engineers; physical, hydrology, water quality monitoring, data management and site assessments by OSU; project coordination, public education and outreach by FLOW; stream restoration project design and construction; and grant reporting and contract administration services by the City. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of various engineering services on a routine basis. This work (Phase I) will include preliminary engineering consisting of a field survey, hydrographic survey, geomorphic assessment, sediment sampling and survey, sediment transportation evaluation, structural analyses, and floodplain evaluations. The preliminary engineerings anticipated to begin in October, 2009.
