Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities would like to modify and increase contract number EL003668 for the Dublin Road Water Plant (DRWP) Treatment Capacity Increase Study & Evaluation Project for a consultant name change and for additional funding. The original contract was established with Metcalf & Eddy, Inc., whom now goes by their parent name, AECOM USA, Inc.

As per the recommendations of the Water beyond 2000 project, the original contract provided for a production study to evaluate the feasibility and changes required to increase the current design capacity of the Dublin Road Water Plant from 65 MGD to 90 MGD, while maintaining water quality and compliance with existing and future regulatory requirements. Full scale and pilot scale demonstrations required by the Ohio EPA for approval were to be authorized by a planned future modification (as anticipated in the original legislation). Contract Modification No. 1 provided for the design, bidding services, construction assistance, plant operation, data analysis and reporting for the Pilot Plant Study. This proposed contract modification (Contract Modification No. 2) will cover the cost relating to additional construction services, additional startup and operation services, and analysis of additional alternatives proposed by the Comprehensive Master Planning Team (CMPT), that have varied from the initial concept and beyond the original scope of the contract. No future phases of this project are anticipated.
