Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional engineering services agreement with the Smoot Construction Company for the Lockbourne Intermodal Subtrunk Professional Construction Management (PCM) Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. 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 planned to begin construction in 2016. Due to the size and complexity of the project, an RFP for the construction management services for the project was issued and proposals were received on December 12, 2014. The initial contract fee is meant to cover all costs the PCM will incur during the plan review, value engineering and bidding phases. Planned contract modifications will occur later to include the required inspection services.

This contract will provide construction administration and management services including, construction inspection, construction and startup coordination, reporting, budgeting, scheduling, document tracking, and other related tasks to ensure the City receives a quality product in conformance with the Contract Documents.

After the contracts have been executed later this summer, the designer will begin the value engineering (VE) process which will include the PCM consultant. Construction is expected to begin in late 2016 and will continue on through the end of 2018.
