Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with two plumbing contractors: Capital Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc. and TFH-EB, Inc. dba The Waterworks for the Project Dry Basement (PDB) program. The purpose of this program is to reduce water-in-basement occurrences in residential homes in the City of Columbus.
Project Dry Basement Program was implemented in 2004 and authorized the Director of Public Utilities to enter into necessary agreements with homeowners, and contracts with licensed plumbers to perform work related to the installation of devices that are appropriate for the elimination of water in basement (WIBs) in residences within the City of Columbus. These devices will typically include an approved backwater prevention valve, but in some instances may include a sump pump. Sump pumps will be installed only where necessary. Other devices may be considered if deemed necessary to protect a residence from future WIBs incidents. Theres is no cost to the resident if the solution is the installation of devices by the City of Columbus.
