Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation for the Lockbourne Intermodal Subtrunk Air Quality Improvements project. As part of the Northern Pickaway Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) agreement the City of Columbus agreed to construct the sanitary sewer infrastructure necessary to serve the district. A majority of that area will be served via the 60-78” Lockbourne Intermodal Subtrunk Sewer (LIS) which is currently under design. During the design of this subtrunk, a preliminary ventilation and odor control study conducted by Harvey W. Sorensen (HWS) in September of 2013 determined that air quality control would be required in order to prevent odor releases and pressurizing of the sanitary system. This project will design and construct the necessary air quality control devices.
2. Project Timeline: Contract work is expected to be completed in a manner acceptable to the City within 18 to 24 months from the date that a Notice To Proceed (NTP) is given by the City.
