Explanation

1.0 BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Kokosing Industrial, Inc. for the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) Basin Concrete Rehabilitation Project in an amount up to $23,653,200.00; 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. 690389-100001, Division of Water Contract Number 2247.

The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate deteriorated concrete structures in and around the settling and flocculation basin area. Structures to be addressed include the basins, transfer channels and flumes leading to/from the basin area, and associated walkways/platforms/etc. Also included in the project is the rehabilitation or replacement of components embedded in the concrete including joint seals, gratings, frames, hatch covers, handrails, guardrails, and valves and gates, 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 the Invitation For Bid (IFB).

The Community Planning Area is “99 - Citywide” since the HCWP services several Columbus communities.

Weather conditions (freeze-thaw) and exposure to treatment chemicals degrades concrete condition over time and periodic rehabilitation is needed to maintain pedestrian safety and structural integrity of the treatment facilities. The HCWP is an essential and integral component in the Columbus area water supply. An adequate supply of safe water is essential to economic growth and development of the central Ohio area.

Public informational meetings are not anticipated for this project, all proposed work should be within the boundaries of the water treatment facility. ...
