Explanation
1.0 BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a planned modification to the 2020 - 2022 Construction Administration/Inspection (CA/CI) Services agreement with DLZ Ohio, Inc.
Funding for this modification will be for the DOSD project, Blueprint Linden Oakland Park Medina Integrated Solutions and the DOW project, Oakland Park/Medina Water Line Improvements.
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage project includes rehabilitation of existing sewers, repair to existing sewers, construction of new sewers, and construction of green infrastructure. The majority of the projects will reduce inflow and infiltration to the City’s sanitary sewer system thus mitigating sanitary sewer overflows to basements and waterways. Other projects provide improvement to existing storm infrastructure to mitigate drainage/flooding issues.
This Division of Water project will provide general rehabilitation of the area's water distribution system and includes construction of new water mains, abandoning existing water mains, and transferring water services. The purpose of the project is to replace the existing water main in Northwood, and E. Brighton with new water mains (3,160 feet).

1.3. Reason other procurement processes are not used:
This is a multi-year contract that will be modified as required to provide construction administration / inspection services for construction projects that bid during the three year (2020-2022) time frame.
1.4. How cost of modification was determined:
The cost of Modification No. 2 was determined by negotiations between DLZ Ohio, Inc. and the Division of Power.
2.0 ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT:
The goal of the water line work is to replace or rehabilitate the existing water lines that have a high break frequency. Replacement of these water lines will improve water service, decrease burden on water maintenance operations, and reduce water loss. The Neighborhood Liaison(s) will be contacted and informed of this project during the design phase. Further community outreach may result through the Neighborhood Liaison Program. This contract provides administration and inspection oversight of DOSD construction projects to ensure that work is consistent with and conforms to plans and specifications, and that the construction and any associated issues are handled efficiently and in the best interest of the City of Columbus.
3.0 FUTURE MODIFICATION(S): The Department anticipates requesting additional future modifications to this contract as new construction projects begin during 2020, 2021, and 2022.
