Explanation
1.0 BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Complete General Construction Co. for the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) Sludge Line Improvements Project in an amount up to $7,226,426.28; to encumber funds with the Department of Public Service for prevailing wage services in an amount up to $2,000.00; for Capital Improvements Project No. 690510-100004, Division of Water Contract Number 2236.
The 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 conducted several studies and completed various capital improvements to the sludge disposal line. A previous condition inspection 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.
Work on this project consists of construction of approximately 13,298 linear feet of open-cut 12-inch force main pipe and associated appurtenances, 217 linear feet of trenchless 12-inch force main pipe and associated appurtenances, 2 air-release valve vaults, sludge handling, and other such work as may be necessary to complete the contract, in accordance with the drawings, technical specifications, and City of Columbus Construction and Material Specifications as set forth in this Invitation For Bid (IFB).
Planning area: “99 - Citywide” since HCWP serves several communities.
