Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with the Righter Company, Inc. for the Upper Scioto West Air Quality Improvements Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This project is being completed largely in part due to community input and the number of odor complaints in the area, which has risen dramatically over the last few years. By rebuilding the existing biofilters and constructing the necessary changes to address their deficiencies, the City will be improving the environment of the neighborhoods in and around the biofilters while fostering a better working relationship with the surrounding community. This project will construct replacement media filters for the existing Air Quality Control Facilities on the Upper Scioto West Interceptor Sewer located at shafts 2 and 11.
