Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities issued a Request for Proposals pursuant to the requirements of city code section 329.14 in order to solicit proposals for community outreach and education related to the Department of Public Utilities’ Integrated Plan. Seven proposals were received and reviewed, and, pursuant to city code section 329.14, three firms were interviewed. After the interviews, it was determined that the proposal submitted by the Brown and Caldwell team would best meet the needs of the Department of Public Utilities for the Integrated Plan project. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract with Brown and Caldwell for community outreach and education related to the Department of Public Utilities’ Integrated Plan.
The objective of this community outreach and educational effort is to comply with the Department of Public Utilities’ new Integrated Plan. In 2012, the Department sought and received from Ohio EPA permission to investigate a new option, known as the Integrated Plan. The Plan would eliminate sewer overflows and basement back-ups primarily by eliminating sources of clear water from sanitary sewers, such as leaking laterals, downspout connections, while also increasing green infrastructure to treat stormwater occurrences.
The initial timeline for this project is one year with two future modifications being planned:
Original Contract: $ 430,000.00 (current)
Modification #1: $ 430,000.00 (future)
Modification #2: $ 430,000.00 (future)
Estimated Project Cost: $1,290,000.00
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NO: 94-1446346 | MAJ | Exp. 05/02/2014
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency designation is requested at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT: To transfer within and expend $430,000.00 from Sanitary Sewer General Obligation Bond Fund, Fund 664 and to amend the 2012 Capital Improvements Budget.
