Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to reimburse the Franklin County Engineer's Office for construction of a 24-inch water main along Georgesville Road, Division of Power and Water Tracking Number 10-046, up to the amount of $1,400,000.00.
A 24-inch water main was installed along Georgesville Road during the Franklin County Engineer's Office road improvements project between West Broad Street and Sullivant Avenue. Franklin County's project lowered the existing road requiring the water main to be replaced. The 2012 Water Distribution Master Plan identified the existing 16-inch water main as a hydraulic restriction, therefore, the 16-inch main was replaced with a 24-inch main to improve flow within the district. To maintain the project schedule timeline it was in the best interest of the City to allow Franklin County to replace the water main and for the Department of Public Utilities to reimburse the County for the construction costs.
2. ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT: By replacing this main during Franklin County's project, the impact to the traveling public was reduced. By reducing the traffic impact, the carbon dioxide pollutants released due to increased idling was limited. By installing the water main under Franklin County's contract the City saved the expense and time of bidding the project.
3. BID INFORMATION: The Franklin County Engineer's Office competitively bid this project.
4. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE: 31-6400067/033 (Governmental Entity)
5. FISCAL IMPACT: A transfer of funds within the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund will be necessary as well as an amendment to the 2012 Capital Improvements Budget.
