Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes modifying the professional engineering services contract with URS Corporation in connection with the Big Walnut Augmentation/Rickenbacker Interceptor Sewer Project.

This professional services contract was originally procured with a scope that included a multi-year renewable contract option for an entire scope of services. This provision allows the City to appropriate funds annually or on an as-needed basis depending upon the project's progress. This modification will fund services through September, 2005, and includes the engineering services during construction; materials testing; construction administration and inspection services for both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Project.

This project will construct in two parts. Part 1 will install a 168-inch diameter sanitary interceptor sewer from the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Alum Creek Drive/State Route 317 intersection. Part 2 will construct a 144-inch diameter sanitary interceptor sewer from Alum Creek Drive/State Route 317 intersection north along Alum Creek Drive to the existing 108-inch Outfall Sewer. The included Shook Road connection will allow the removal of the Spiegel Road pump station and a 42-inch trunk sewer that will be constructed to service the Rickenbacker Port Authority and will allow for the removal of the present pump station.

It is also projected that modifications will be required in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 based upon current pr...
