Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a Guaranteed Maximum Reimbursement Agreement (GMRA) with the City of Hilliard, Ohio to receive and accept payment for work done to repair and rebuild a sewer line in the Hilliard area, Whirlwind Cove. The project consists of rebuilding a manhole sewer structure that has a 27” Columbus line coming in from the west, a 30” Hilliard line coming in from the north, and the downstream 36” Columbus line to the east.

Hilliard has reviewed the CCTV tape of their sewer and would like to have this section of their sewer lined as part of our work.
