Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Siemens Water Technologies Corporation, for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester Cover Rehabilitation project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. These digester covers are part of the biogas (methane) handling system at the wastewater treatment plant. This is the third and final phase of a three-part program to rehabilitate five of the covers and six control systems. The existing Dystor digester covers are near the end of their useful lives and are beginning to experience leakage of flammable biogas. The leaks now render the systems inoperable as designed. These improvements are necessary to provide reliability and continued operational performance for this vital treatment process.
The proposed construction contract with Siemens Water Technologies Corporation is for Contract J214. This contract work consists of replacing the Dystor air and gas membrane covers, rehabilitating the concrete structure and piping systems for Digester No. 3, and replacing the Dystor digester cover control system on Digesters Nos. 3 and 4, along with providing training for the plant personnel to operate the new control system.
This ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of Sole Source procurement of the Columbus City Code Section 329.07.
