Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction modification contract with Layne Inliner LLC (formerly Reynolds Inliner, LLC) for the Franklin Main Interceptor Rehabilitation, Phase III: Nationwide Blvd to Buttles Avenue for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This contract modification is to change the scope of work of the current contract to include Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining for a section of the Franklin Main Interceptor sewer located in the Ohio State University Area. The CIPP will be more cost effective than complete replacement and extend the life of this infrastructure. This modification will utilize existing contract monies, no additional monies are required. The contract completion date will be extended from February 24, 2013, to June 30, 2013.
2. MODIFICATION INFORMATION:
2.1. Amount of additional funds to be expended: $0.00
Original Contract Amount: $2,140,987.20
Modification #1: $ 0.00
Total (Orig. + Mod # 1) $2,140,987.20
2.2. Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen.
The original contract included contingency for investigating the need for CIPP lining several sections of the Franklin Main Interceptor within the scoped project area. The full contingency amount was not utilized. There is a section of the Franklin Main Interceptor located further north in the OSU area that requires CIPP lining. The CIPP is more cost effective than a complete pipe replacement. Beside the cost factor the area in which the infrastructure is located would require cutting across Lane Avenue, St. John Arena parking lot and across Woody Hayes Drive if a pipe replacement was done. That process would be more disruptive to the neighborhood area. This contract modification will utilize the remaining funds to CIPP line this section of the Franklin Main Interceptor in the OSU area.
2.3. Reason other procurement processes are not used:
The work included in this scope change will CIPP line a section of sewer that is over 100 years old with infiltration and structurally deteriorated conditions. The project site is located in a high traffic area of OSU but will take advantage of spring break when traffic is much lower.
2.4. How the cost of modification was determined: Not applicable. This is a $0.00 modification.
3. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NO: 01-0684682 | MAJ | Expires 02/01/2014
4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency designation is not requested at this time.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND FISCAL IMPACT:
A. Economic Impact: The project will rehabilitate an existing 100-year old sanitary sewer. The project has the environmental benefit of mitigating infiltration to the sewer therefore reducing the amount of sanitary overflow from the system.
B. Fiscal Impact: This legislation is a zero dollar ($0.00) modification
