Explanation

1.0 BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Kokosing Industrial, Inc. for the Dublin Road Water Plant (DRWP) - Basin Clarifier Rehabilitation Project (hereinafter designated as “DRWP Basin Clarifier Rehabilitation Project”) in an amount up to $19,521,350.00; to encumber funds with the Department of Public Service for prevailing wage services in an amount up to $2,000.00; for Capital Improvements Project No. 690278-100005, Division of Water Contract Number 2199.

This project will construct clarifier improvements for basins 1, 2, and 3 and flocculator improvements in floc tanks 1 through 4 at the DRWP. Improvements in each basin will include replacement of four clarifier drive mechanisms, replacement of corner sweep mechanisms, rehabilitation of clarifier rake arms, and replacement of miscellaneous piping, supports, and other clarifier appurtenances, and replace all flocuclator drives.
