Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: The Central College Subtrunk Phase 3 (CC3) project was initiated in response to growth driven by development demand and consists of the construction of 10,900 linear feet of curved 48-inch micro-tunnel. The subtrunk will provide sanitary sewer service to approximately 1,725 acres within the City of Columbus’ northeastern tributary service area and redirect flows from the Sugar Run Subtrunk. The micro-tunnel along Central College Road begins near the intersection of Central College Road and High Rock Drive and travels in an easterly direction, to its terminus near the intersection of Central College Road and New Albany Road West. This legislation authorizes the professional construction management services for the project.
2. PROCUREMENT: The Department of Public Utilities advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP’s) for Professional Construction Management Services on Vendor Services and Bonfire websites from January 16, 2020 to February 21, 2020. The city received three (3) responses. All proposals were deemed responsive and were fully evaluated per Columbus City Code Section 329.
