Explanation


1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional design services agreement with Braun & Steidl Architects, Inc. for the Fairwood Facility Improvements project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The City of Columbus maintains a Sewer Maintenance and Operations Center (SMOC) facility at 1250 Fairwood Avenue. The Fairwood Facility is responsible for the operation, maintenance and repair of the City's sewer collection system and houses various City staff including the Division of Police and Fire operations on the premises which function 24/7. The Division has determined that these design services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.

This project will conduct an existing facilities assessment that will investigate and document in a report, the current Fairwood Facility conditions, the needed improvements, replacing the existing second story brick fascia with metal siding, replacing and upgrade of the existing vehicle fueling facility, replacing the existing roof mount 30 ton air conditioning unit, replacing the existing 650,000 BTU reheat boiler located in the stock room area, evaluation of an area in front of the building to design and build a rain garden and evaluation of the existing emergency power system. The project will also replace and upgrade the vehicle fueling station at the Utilities Complex at 910 Dublin Road. The actual emplacement of the designed work will be by construction contract; this Design Professional (DP) services contract will provide: preliminary design, detailed design, bidding assistance, construction-phase engineering, start-up and commissioning assistance, record documentation preparation assistance, and other services for this project, as directed by the City.
