Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Brown & Caldwell Ohio, LLC, for professional engineering services for the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) Lime Slurry Disposal Line Condition Assessment Project, in an amount up to $1,336,013.71, under Division of Water Contract No. 2041.
This project consists of three phases. Phase One consists of the condition assessment of a 12-inch water distribution main using an in-line inspection tool (approximately 2,100 feet). The purpose of the condition assessment to identify any potential risks of the pipe's condition to address Ohio EPA concerns.
Phase 2, if authorized, consists of the condition assessment of a pilot section of the 12-inch lime slurry disposal line using two separate in-line inspection tools and comparing their results (approximately 8,900 feet). This phase also includes piloting a pipeline monitoring technology.
Phase 3 consists of the condition assessment using an in-line inspection tool of the remaining 16 miles of lime slurry disposal line from the end of Phase 2 to the McKinley Quarry.
Each phase is intended to build confidence in the capability of the in-line inspection technology before moving to the next phase. This legislation includes all work associated with Phase 1 and Phase 2. If the in-line inspection technology provides acceptable results, a future contract modification will authorize Phase 3.
2. ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT: The purpose of this project is to address the Ohio EPA's concerns over the condition of the lime slurry disposal line and the risks posed. A priority of this project is to identify and mitigate potential risks involved by assessing the condition of the lime slurry disposal line and providing the most detailed information available on the pipe condition.
