Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify an existing engineering agreement with Strand Associates, Inc. for the Community Park/Maple Canyon Home Sewage Treatment System (HSTS) Elimination Project, CIP#650895-100004 in an amount of up to $14,991.76 for the Division of Water Reclamation.

Ordinance 1697-2019 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Strand Associates, Inc. for the Community Park/Maple Canyon Home Sewage Treatment System (HSTS) Elimination Project, CIP #650895-100004. The contract is to design sanitary sewers along portions of Maple Canyon Avenue between Deewod Drive and Parkview Drive, and on Community Park Drive in the area of Maple Canyon Avenue and Hildreth Avenue. The new sanitary sewer extension will serve this developed area of the City of Columbus that is currently served by home sewage treatment systems. The sewer will be designed with adequate depth and capacity to allow for future extension to serve nearby properties in unincorporated Franklin County.

Work performed to date consists of completing the topographic and right-of-way survey within the project limits, developing a draft preliminary design report, exploring additional alternatives requested by the Sewer System Engineering Section, detailed design, specifications, and contract documents.

Contract modification 1, authorized by Ordinance 2679-2020, added funding to complete detailed design. This contract modification will add funding to make necessary manhole and sanitary sewer pipe slope adjustments to account for the possible growth of the area in the future while providing basement-level sanitary service in the area.

This work will primarily be performed in Columbus Community Area: 35 - Northland
