Resolution No. 2019-21 WWTP Blowers Replacement I DO Analyzer
The Public Works Department released an Invitation to Bid on February 13, 2019 with bids due
on March 27, 2019 to address the replacement of the 40+ year Aeration Blowers for the Waste
Water Treatment Plant. The Project includes installation of DO (Dissolved Oxygen) Sensors which
will assist in the control of the aeration equipment.
The project bid documents include the replacement of three aeration basin blowers, two digester
blowers, and DO sensing equipment for their operation . The bid documents also inc luded a
deductive alternate, which allows the City to remove the digester blowers from the Project if the
costs were deemed to be too high or to assist with the project falling into budget.
After reviewing the bids it is the recommendation of Public Works to exercise the deductive
alternate option and only award the contract for the replacement of the three aeration basin
blowers and associated DO probes in the amount of $1,035,000.00 to the successful lowest
responsive and responsible Bidder, Peninsula Construction, Inc.
The project falls within our existing budget and will expend the remaining State Grant funds
received for repairs to the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Additionally , approval for a contingency
of $90 ,000 .00 to process change orders is being requested. These funds are also already
available within the existing budget. Total cost of requested project approval including
contingency is $1,125,000.00 . As with all Capital Projects Public Works will continue to inform
Council of progress and change orders th roug h Departmental Mid-Month Reports .
Completion of this project is vital for the City to continue to meet our environmental permitting
requirements. Aeration is a critical part of the treatment process and is something that is occurring
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Replacement of this equipment will allow a tremendous amount

of safety and security for the facility 's operations , as the existing equipment requires constant
maintenance with parts difficult to come by.
Departmental staff and the Administration are in strong support of this project. Council's
consideration is respectfully requested .
