Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering agreement with MS Consultants, Inc. for the Blueprint Columbus Hilltop Eureka/Fremont project, CIP 650870-100802. It is the objective of the City to mitigate overflows of Designed Sewer Relief (DSRs) throughout the City’s system to the 10-year Level Of Service (LOS). The City will evaluate and determine if this LOS is best achieved through strict Inflow & Infiltration (I & I) elimination with Green Infrastructure (GI) or in combination with some gray infrastructure.
To accomplish this objective, the scope of work for this project will include all the requisite investigation, evaluation, formulation, and design to produce fully independent construction documents for the remediation of inflow and infiltration (I & I), green infrastructure (GI) technologies and other related activities and/or documents necessary for project completion.
Blueprint Columbus Hilltop - Eureka/Fremont: This project will provide consultation services for the remediation of I & I in the area as requested by the City. It will also conduct field investigations, model and clean all city-owned storm water system facilities in the area; devise, plan, and design green infrastructure facilities to accommodate storm water removed from the sanitary system by the I & I remediation efforts.
This project will look at the combination of gray/green solutions to remove/reroute inflow/infiltration from the sanitary sewer to relieve Water In Basements (WIBs) and DSRs in the Hilltop boundary area up to the 10-year level of service.
PROJECT TIMELINE: It is anticipated that a Notice to Proceed will be issued December, 2015, Detailed Design is projected to be completed by June 2017, land acquisition is projected to be completed June 2019, Construction is projected to commence November 2019 and with a projected completion by November of 2021.
