Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton Inc. (EMH&T, Inc.), in the amount of $284,311.00 for professional engineering services for the Mound Street east of Interstate 71 (e/o I-71) Sewer Separation Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.

This work will include preparation of construction documents (plans and specifications) for stormwater, sanitary sewer, and combined system improvements, preparation of necessary easements, and fielding technical questions during construction. These documents will explain how the contractor will clean, inspect, and evaluate the existing 36-inch combined sewer and lateral sewers along Mound Street near Monroe Avenue east to 22nd Street and prepare construction documents necessary for new storm sewer along Mound Street. Engineering is anticipated to begin summer 2009 and end at completion of construction in 2013.

A. Procurement Information: The Division advertised Request for Proposals (RFP's) for the subject services in the City Bulletin in accordance with the provisions of Section 329.14 of Columbus City Codes. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage received technical proposals on September 26, 2008 from the following companies:
