Explanation
1. NEED:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional engineering services contract with DLZ Ohio, Inc. The existing Alum Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer has had incidences of surcharging during wet weather events. This project will design and construct a relief sewer to be known as the Alum Creek Sanitary Sewer Relief Tunnel. The preliminary phasing of this project is for it to be designed and constructed in four phases (Phases A thru D). Phase A and B will construct the tie-in at the Big Walnut Outfall Sewer on the southeast side of town, and will extend a tunnel north to approximately Broad Street. Phases C and D will continue the design and construction of the tunnel north in the proximity of Morse Road. This contract's scope of service will include the preliminary engineering, detailed design and engineering services for Phases A and B only. This ordinance will fund only the preliminary engineering services for Phases A and B. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage will request additional funding for the detailed design services through contract modifications upon acceptance of the preliminary engineering design report.
