Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Kokosing Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $2,019,455.68, for the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) Lagoon No. 2 Embankment Modifications Project, Division of Power and Water Contract Number 1030 - Part 3.

This project will provide for the replacement of a failing embankment and the addition of internal baffle embankments in Lagoon No. 2 at the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP). These improvements, along with the sludge removal under a previous contract, will allow this lagoon to be put back into service. This will provide additional storage for emergency situations due to loss of pumping capabilities and allow for replacement of portions of the sludge line that extends from HCWP to McKinley Quarry. Several recent failures of this sludge line have resulted in Notices of Violation from Ohio EPA and have prompted scheduled replacement of portions of the sludge line. Repairs to the sludge lagoon embankments are necessary to allow for lagoon utilization for sludge storage. The internal baffles will provide improved decantation of the sludge and will significantly increase the useful storage of the lagoon. External embankment repair along Big Walnut Creek will ensure public health and safety by preventing lime/alum sludge from entering Big Walnut Creek if there were an embankment failure.

Bids were received from: Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. - $2,019,455.68; Trucco Construction Co. - $2,313,511.87; George J.
