Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Complete General Construction Company for the West Franklinton Sewer Improvements CIP 650870-116161 and Central Avenue Underpass Stormwater Improvements CIP 611033-100000. This project will construct upgrades to the collection system in the West Franklinton Blueprint area by upsizing 740 feet of existing 10-inch sanitary sewer pipes to 15 inch sewer in order to convey additional flow. This will help to reduce the occurrence of sewer backups into basements. Also, the project will upgrade the storm sewer system in the area by upsizing 1,164 feet of storm sewer in order to collect more runoff and eliminate the flooding issues along South Central Avenue (SR3/US62) north of West Mound Street.
Planning Area: 54-Franklinton

Both the sanitary sewer and storm sewer projects (combined in the Invitation for Bid and this ordinance are funded through two separate loans with OWDA).
