Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Performance Pipelining, Inc., via the City’s Invitation for Bid process for the Blueprint Clintonville 2 Old Beechwold Lateral Lining project, CIP #650872-139161, in an amount up to $1,600,479.70; and to encumber funds with the Department of Public Service for prevailing wage services in an amount up to $2,000.00, for a total expenditure of $1,602,479.70.
This project involves the lining of sanitary laterals of 133 homes, approximately 5,800 linear feet, via “trenchless” methods using curing-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology, to prevent excess stormwater from entering the City's sanitary sewer system. Trenchless pipe lining uses existing pipes to guide new and improved pipes into the sewage system. Sewer lateral lining repair uses special sewage pipes that are flexible and able to fit inside existing pipes. Once the new pipes have been pulled through, they are inflated and effectively replace the old pipes.
No future phases are expected at this time. This project is a Consent Order project. A Consent order is a negotiated agreement entered as a court order that is enforceable by the court. In 2005, the City of Columbus entered its Wet Weather Management Plan to the Ohio EPA to bring the City in compliance with its consent orders regarding the City’s sewer overflows. This project is an improvement identified in the Integrated Plan and the 2015 Wet Weather Management Plan Update Report. The project is needed to mitigate water in basement events and sanitary sewer overflows to the goal of a 10-year Level of Service (LOS).
The Community Area for this ordinance is 39, Clintonville.
TIMELINE: All contract work is required to be completed in a manner acceptable to the City within 300 days from the date that a Notice to Proceed (NTP) is given by the City. The Notice to Proceed is anticipated to be issued in June 2024.
