Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering agreement with Evans Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton, Inc. (EMH&T, Inc.). for the Blueprint Stormwater Sewer System Assessment - West Franklinton, CIP 611625-100002. This project is needed in order to restore the hydraulic capacity of the existing storm infrastructure as well as to identify any necessary repairs so as to extend the useful life of the asset. The project will also reduce stormwater flooding issues in the neighborhood and create positive outlets for the new green infrastructure and downspouts that will be installed as part of the Blueprint projects. This project will provide incremental funding to assess, clean and inspect all storm sewer infrastructure within the Yale-Edwin & Green - Glenwood Blueprint areas so that the hydraulic capacity of the existing storm infrastructure is restored which will reduce neighborhood stormwater flooding issues and create opportunities for the installation of green infrastructure. This work will occur in the West Franklinton Area, and the limits of the project are bounded by West Broad Street on its northern and West Mound Street on the southern extents and by interstate 315 and Townsend Avemue on its eastern and western extents.
