Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional engineering services agreement with Advanced Engineering Consultants, for the Parsons Avenue Water Plant (PAWP) HVAC Improvements Project, in an amount up to $150,000.00, for Division of Water Contract No. 2193.
Advanced Engineering Consultants will provide engineering and architectural design services to evaluate and renovate the various existing HVAC systems at the PAWP located at 5600 Parsons Avenue, Lockbourne, Ohio 43137. Various existing HVAC systems at the plant are reaching the end of their useful life. Current issues include systems not currently meeting space conditioning needs (e.g., spaces being too hot, too cold, too humid, too low in humidity, or not having sufficient ventilation) and periodic equipment failures. The initial agreement will provide services for a study and condition assessment (Phase 1). Detailed design (Phase 2) and engineering services during construction (Phase 3) will be legislated under future modifications.
FUTURE MODIFICATION(S): Modification No. 1 for detailed design (Phase 2) is expected in 2018 and Modification No. 2 for Services During Construction (Phase 3) is expected in 2019.
ESTIMATED COST OF PROJECT:
Phase 1 - Study and Condition Assessment (Current Request): $150,000.00
Phase 2 - Detailed Design (Future Mod): $375,000.00
Phase 3 - Service During Construction (Future Mod): $375,000.00
Estimated Engineering Contract Total: $900,000.00
The Community Planning Area for this project is “N/A” since the PAWP services several communities.
