Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Supplemental Contract No. 1 with Freese and Nichols, Inc. for the West Wastewater Treatment Plant Force Main Project.

Body

At the Brushy Creek Regional West Wastewater Treatment Plant (BCRWWWTP) there is currently an existing 6-inch wastewater force-main that discharges into an 18-inch gravity wastewater line that is deteriorating.  In February, the City entered a contract with Freese & Nichols for $40,629 to design a new 6-inch force-main that will extend from the Wastewater Treatment plants lift station across Brushy Creek to a manhole to be constructed on an existing 27-inch line that feeds into the Regional Wastewater Interceptor.  During design, it became evident that the existing pumps were oversized to meet the needs of the force-main.  New smaller, more efficient pumps including Motor Control Centers will be necessary for the WWWTP’s needs.

The Utility Staff recommends the City Council approve Supplemental Agreement (SA) No. 1 for $35,087 for the design of two new pumps, MCC’s and necessary electrical and instrumentation changes necessary to complete this project.  The addition of SA No. 1 will increase the total contract amount to $75,716.00.

Cost: $35,087.00
