Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to renew the professional engineering services agreement with DLZ Ohio, Inc. for the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) Sludge Line Improvements Project, Capital Improvements Project No. 690510-100004, Division of Water Contract No. 2236.
The Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) sludge disposal line was constructed in the late 1970’s to provide an economical means to transfer treatment residuals from the HCWP facility to the McKinley Avenue Quarry. This sludge disposal line continues to be an essential asset to the City’s largest water treatment facility. Beginning in 1997, the 12-inch diameter sludge disposal line began experiencing an increase in break frequencies. As a result, the Division of Water (DOW) has conducted several studies and completed various capital improvements to the sludge disposal line. A previous condition inspection completed on 10 miles of the sludge disposal line (under CIP 690538-100001) identified various areas that are in need of replacement. The project will replace portions of the 12-inch HCWP sludge force main along Morse Road, Bethel Road, and Riverside Drive.
DLZ Ohio was awarded detail design services, original contract (PO142612), with the intent to legislate for a contract renewal for Engineering Services During Construction (current request).
Professional engineering services are divided into two steps as follows:
Step 1 - Preliminary and Detailed Design (initial agreement, PO142612)
Step 2 - Engineering Services During Construction (this Renewal No. 1)
Work performed to date includes Step 1 Preliminary and Detailed Design services. Work to be performed under this renewal is Engineering Services During Construction.
Planning area: “99 - Citywide” since HCWP serves several communities.
1.1 Amount of additional funds to be expended: $631,000.00
Original Contract Amount: $1,282,600.00 (PO142612)
Renewal No. 1: $ 631,000.00
