Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) was originally constructed in the early 1950's; the plant was doubled in size in the early 1970's with periodic additional construction since initiation. HCWP consists of multiple special purpose buildings on a single campus each with an integral role in the water treatment process. The architecture of these buildings is generally brick and/or concrete unit masonry with some glass block and precast concrete panels and stonework. Observed deterioration of the exterior masonry of these buildings prompted a detailed condition assessment which was completed in 2005 by Architects and Engineers chosen specifically for their expertise in this area. The assessment noted many structural deficiencies as well as others which allow water penetration inside the building envelopes. This contract provides the labor and materials to correct the deficiencies identified in that assessment. Completion of this work will restore the structural integrity of the buildings as well as protect them and their contents against damage from the elements.
The procurement of this contract was conducted in accordance with Section 329.09 of the Columbus City Code.
