Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the Hap Cremean Water Plant Sludge Pump Station Renovations and Electrical Upgrades agreement with CH2M Hill Inc. for the Division of Power and Water, Contract No. 870.

This current modification (#2) is needed to replace funding that was used to provide immediate response to the Ohio EPA due to lime sludge spills from the HCWP sludge force main in 2007 and 2008. This response included services from CH2M Hill, Inc. to provide an evaluation of the sludge force main and to provide construction administration and construction inspection for the replacement of two sections of the sludge force main.

This modification will further provide for an O&M Ready pilot project requested by Asset Management to assist in their development of an O&M Ready specification for their Reliability Centered Maintenance Initiative and will meet Department of Public Utilities Asset Management requirements. This pilot project would include preventive maintenance data collection for all major equipment installed, data entry into WAM, and enhanced training. The enhanced training services will validate the contractor's training and provide online training courses on the sludge removal system.

On February 4, 2008 a letter from the Ohio EPA was received which served as both a Notice of Violation and a request for information relating to the lime sludge spill from the HCWP sludge force main on November 17, 2007. In order to provide an immediate response to the Ohio EPA, C...
