Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter an engineering agreement with CDM Smith, Inc. for the Scioto Main Sanitary Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation project, CIP 650888-100000. In this project professional consulting services are needed to assist in assessing the existing structural integrity of the sewer, determining the extent and nature of any necessary repairs, and developing plans and specifications to accomplish these repairs. The rehabilitation is required to replace the corrosion protection barrier on the existing concrete pipe. This pipe had been installed with a plastic liner (Linabond) for this purpose, and recent inspections have revealed that this liner is deteriorating. This project is consistent with DPU's ongoing CMOM (Capacity Assurance Management Operation and Maintenance) program and will ensure that the current level of service is maintained.
This work will occur in the Greenlawn/Frank Road planning area, and the limits of the project are described as being immediately upstream of the Jackson Pike Treatment Plant along the west side of I-71 between Emig Road and Frank Road.
2. THE PROJECT TIMELINE: The estimated timeline for this project is 5.5 years, to end in February, 2022.
