Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Burgess & Niple, Inc. in the amount of $100,804.00, for professional engineering services for the Bethel and Henderson Booster Stations Improvements Project.

This project consists of two phases. The first phase consists of studying the two stations, Bethel and Henderson, and evaluate alternatives that will best utilize the stations and improve system efficiencies. During this phase it will be required to coordinate with the consultant working on the Comprehensive and Water Distribution Master Plan project and the Water Distribution Staff. Contract completion for phase one will be within six months after the date of the agreement is signed.

Phase two will include the design and plan preparation of the project, bidding, and review of construction submittals during construction. It is anticipated that Phase two will be 12 to 18 months for design. The construction submittal review will be continuous throughout construction. A modification to the contract will be required for Phase two once the scope has been determined in Phase one.

2. BID INFORMATION: The selection of the firm providing the professional engineering services has been performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Columbus City Code, Section 329.14, "Awarding professional service contracts through requests for proposals."
