Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Brown and Caldwell Ohio, LLC for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Skimmings Concentrator System Improvements Project. The amount of this modification is $1,079,993.00. The contract total including this modification is $1,218,863.00.

This modification will fund three additional service components. The first component ($705,618.00) includes additional detailed engineering services to accommodate project changes that were based upon recommendations during the original detailed design process. These additions include two skimming concentrators instead of one; addition of mixing pumps and grinders; replacement of exhaust fans, heaters, and dehumidifiers in the skimming vaults; plan and specification changes due to City of Columbus Instrumentation and Control Standards; Incorporation of DOSD Master Specifications at request of City; and other minor detailed design changes.

The second component ($114,500.00), Operation & Maintenance Instruction Courseware was added at the request of the City and their Professional Program Manager to ensure that this vital wastewater treatment infrastructure is being started up, operated and maintained efficiently in order to preserve this investment.

The third component ($259,875.00), Engineering Services During Construction, was planned for and requested in the original contract. The original terms and conditions allowed the City to incrementally fund the contract services through periodic modifications.
