Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify an existing professional engineering agreement with Burgess & Niple, Inc. (Mod #3) for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP) Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment (CEPT)- Disinfection Project. This project is one of three (3) projects to provide Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment (CEPT) at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP), as approved by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The CEPT facilities provide additional plant capacity to treat wet weather flows in excess of 330 Million Gallons Daily (MGD). This project will focus on upgrades and modifications to provide a new effluent conduit, disinfection chemical feed facilities, and all associated structures and site work to accommodate these facilities.

This project will focus on upgrades and modifications to provide a new effluent conduit, chemical feed facilities, and levee modifications. This is a contract for professional engineering design services and services during construction (Design Professional, or “DP” services) for the SWWTP CEPT, Disinfection.

It is estimated that the Construction portion of this project will require the need for these Engineering Services starting August 2017.

The overall contract duration, from initiation of Preliminary Design services, Detailed Design Phase and through completion of Services during Construction, is estimated to be 72 months. Burgess & Niple, Inc.’s services will continue beyond completion of construction to provide “as-built” record drawings of the constructed facilities.

The actual emplacement of the work will be by construction contract. This engineering contract provides detailed design and bidding assistance, along with construction-phase engineering, start-up and commissioning assistance, and record documentation preparation. Construction Management services are being performed by others.
