Explanation
BACKGROUND: The O'Shaughnessy Dam forms a reservoir that provides a major source of drinking water for the Columbus Metropolitan area. In addition the city operates a hydroelectric plant at the dam and markets the power to the electric grid. The existence of the hydroelectric plant brings the regulation of the dam under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). To assure the safety of the dam during extreme storm events and to meet FERC requirements the joints of an existing 48" storm sewer pipe running through the left embankment of the dam must be sealed beyond normal practice. This contract provides the labor and materials to accomplish this task.

Competitive bids were received and opened at the office of the Director of Public Utilities on April 19, 2006. Two (2) bids were received. Each bid was both responsive and responsible.
