Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional engineering services agreement with Burgess & Niple for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment - Disinfection project. This project is one of three projects to provide the Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment (CEPT) project at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP), as approved by the Ohio EPA. The CEPT facilities provide additional plant capacity to treat wet weather flows in excess of 330 MGD.
This project will focus on upgrades and modifications to provide a new effluent conduit, chemical feed facilities, and levee modifications. This is a contract for professional engineering design services and services during construction (Design Professional, or “DP” services). The initial phase of this contract will consist of Preliminary Design Services for the SWWTP CEPT, Disinfection.
Detailed Design services will be performed in 2015 when the Preliminary Design Phase has been completed. It is anticipated a future contract modification will be requested for this work.
Engineering Services During Construction will be performed in 2017 when the proposed improvements are constructed. The actual emplacement of the work will be by construction contract. This engineering contract provides detailed design and bidding assistance, along with construction-phase engineering, start-up and commissioning assistance, and record documentation preparation. Construction Management services are being performed by others.
2. Project Timeline: The DP will begin after the notice to proceed is given. It is estimated that the Preliminary Design for the project can be completed in the second quarter of 2015. The Detailed Design would commence immediately after the Preliminary Design work is approved. At the conclusion of the Detailed Design, the construction contract(s) will be bid and awarded in 2017.
