Re: Resolution 41-09 -Authorizing the City Manager to Accept Funds from the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funds for the 2010
Sanitary Sewer Relining Project.
Summary
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) has received an allocation of American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds to provide assistance for wastewater
improvement projects. The OEPA is using its Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF)
program to administer its ARRA wastewater allocations. Earlier this year, the OEPA issued a
request for applications for these funds. In April of 2009, staff submitted three applications for
possible funding through this source. The projects were: a 2010 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project
(cost $850,000), COIC Sanitary Sewer Phase 1 (cost $690,000) and COIC Sanitary Sewer Phase
2 (cost $332,000).
The OEPA awarded ARRA funds for the 2010 Sanitary Sewer Lining project. Also, the OEPA
has chosen to use the ARRA money to supplement the WPCLF loan funding it typically
administers. Dublin has been selected by the OEPA to receive $425,000 in ARRA funds and is
eligible to receive the other $425,000 through the WPCLF program.
Staff recommends that the City enter into any required applications and agreements with the
OEPA to receive the ARRA funds for this project. Based on the interest rate of the loan available
through the WPCLF, staff has determined that the City can obtain a lower rate through its own
financing. The remaining funds needed for this project will be obtained from issuing debt to be
repaid by the sewer fund revenues.
The 2010 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project will install acured-in-place liner in approximately 8,340
linear feet of 36-inch sanitary sewer. This section of sewer work will begin in Historic Dublin
and go north into the Donegal Cliffs subdivision. The concrete trunk sewer condition has
deteriorated and is in need of repair. The lining should extend the life of the trunk sewer
approximately 30-50 years.
The 2010 Sewer Lining project was year three of the current contract with Reynolds Inliner. The
OEPA is requiring that the work be re-bid so that the contract can include the requirements of the
ARRA. Reynolds Inliner has agreed to non-perform this work in their current contract, as staff
has developed a list of other sewers that need lining which is of the same cost value.

As a result, and in order to secure the ARRA funds, staff will bid the 2010 Sanitary Sewer Lining
Project in September. This will allow the bid to be reviewed by the OEPA and place the award
of the funding on the WPCLF Board's agenda in November.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 41-09 authorizing acceptance of the ARRA Funds for
the 2010 Sanitary Sewer Project.
