Project Description The Ohio Department of Natural Resources owns and operates water and wastewater treatment, distribution and collection systems throughout the State of Ohio. The following facilities are specifically identified within this project: South Bass Island State Park (Wastewater Project): South Bass Island State Park is located in Ottawa County on South Bass Island in Lake Erie; 3-miles from the southern shore. The park’s address is located at 1523 Catawba Avenue, South Bass Island, Ohio 43456. South Bass offers camping consisting of approximately 127 sites and other recreational activities. ODNR owns and operates a wastewater collection and treatment system within the State Park. The treatment is a 20,000 GPD extended aeration plant and has average daily flows of approximately 10,000 GPD. It would be the intent of ODNR to abandon this treatment facility and construct a sanitary pump station with forcemain, gravity sewer, or some combination of these two connecting into the Village of Put-In-Bay’s wastewater collection and treatment system. Zanesville State Nursery (Water Project): Zanesville State Nursery is located in Muskingum County at 5880 Memory Road, Zanesville, Ohio 43701. There is one small unclassified Public Water System with 3 wells serving the facility. It would be the intent of ODNR to abandon this on-site water system and connect into the Muskingum County water system. Guilford Lake State Park (Water Project): Guilford Lake State Park is located in Columbiana County at 6835 East Lake Road, Lisbon, Ohio 44432. Guilford lake offers camping of approximately 40 sites and other recreational activities. There are 2 small unclassified Public Water Systems located within Guilford State Park; one serving the campground and the other serving the seasonal beach. It would be the intent of ODNR to abandon these on-site water systems and connect into an adjacent municipality or County operated water system. Professional Engineering services are requested to evaluate the conditions at each site and to provide cost-effective solutions for connecting these facilities into the local water or sewer provider. In some cases, it may be determined that a utility connection is not cost-effective or the local utility provider may not be interested. In this case, the A/E will be requested to provide remediation or replacement of the on-site water/sewer systems. The A/E will be expected to assist in coordination between ODNR and the local provider and negotiate user agreements. All regulatory and environmental regulations and permitting will be the responsibility of the A/E selected for this project. Archaeological assessments may be required depending on property type and location. This project is to be completed in concurrence with the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The selected engineering firm will be required to execute a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Certification. mailto:procurement@ofcc.ohio.gov mailto:procurement@ofcc.ohio.gov http://ofcc.ohio.gov/ Request for Qualifications (Architect / Engineer) continued F110-02-2022-MAR Publish Date: 7/28/2022 Page 2 of 5 While ODNR anticipates centralized services from the selected Consultant at the ODNR Fountain Square complex at 2045 Morse Road, Columbus, Ohio 43229, travel will be necessary to complete the services.
