Summary

This document is an Executive Order from Ohio state government related to the Pickaway Correctional Institution's water treatment infrastructure project. The project involves the replacement of an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system at the institution's on-site wastewater treatment plant to maintain compliance with Ohio EPA requirements. The UV system has reached the end of its operational life and requires replacement through a competitive procurement process. The project is time-sensitive with a mandatory operational completion deadline of May 1, 2026, ensuring the facility can continue meeting all regulatory wastewater treatment and disinfection standards.

The Executive Order establishes the framework and authorization for the state of Ohio to proceed with procurement activities for this critical infrastructure replacement. The wastewater treatment plant serves Pickaway Correctional Institution's operational needs, and the UV disinfection component is essential for maintaining environmental compliance. Additional procurement details including specific technical specifications, budget allocations, bid submission deadlines, site visit arrangements, and contractor selection criteria would be contained in supplementary bidding documents and the formal solicitation materials issued by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction or designated procurement authority.
