Chapter 187 and to renew the previously bid contract with URS Corporation, for Professional Construction Management and Program Support Services, and other necessary work and tasks, relating to the implementation of the Capital Improvement Program for the Division of Water Treatment; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Water Treatment has identified over $500 million in needed improvements to the facilities it operates and is implementing an aggressive capital improvements program to evaluate, design, and construct needed improvements to ensure uninterrupted supply of potable water to the area as well as to meet the requirements of the Ohio EPA. To assist the current engineering staff in the Division, a Professional Construction Management (PCM) team has been contracted to provide program support services and to coordinate the construction administration, design review and field services activities. As the Capital Improvement Program continues to be implemented and new projects are authorized, additional funds are now necessary to renew the existing contract for a period of two years beginning 2019 through 2020.
This ordinance provides continued funding for Professional Construction Management and Support Services through the next two years of the water capital improvement program. Professional services provided under the contract include master program scheduling; financial, budgeting, progress and status reporting; public and MBE outreach; web based document administration system; plant site stormwater pollution protection planning activities; construction administration, design review and field services, and other necessary work and tasks, relating to the implementation of the Capital Improvement Program for the Division of Water Treatment. Funding for these services is available from the Water Bond Improvement Fund (2018 Bond Issuance).
