Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional engineering services agreement with the Columbus Engineering Consultants for the Meeklynn Drive Sanitary Sewer Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The City desires to provide new sanitary sewer service to a defined residential area that is currently served by on-lot home septic tank systems (HSTS). This project will investigate, design, and prepare construction drawings to extend existing sanitary sewers and provide a new residential sanitary service tap for 20 existing homes which are served by HSTS systems along Meeklynn Drive. The City has performed inspection of the existing storm sewers in the area and has found evidence of sanitary discharge within the storm system. This project is located along Meeklynn Drive between Linworth Road and Olentangy River Road.

The selected consultant will need to coordinate the proposed sanitary sewer extensions with the consultant that designed storm sewers for this same area under CC-15573. Final construction plans for this storm improvement project were placed on hold due to the current sanitary problems.
