SUBJECT: Award of an agreement for the design of wastewater treatment
plant improvements 2014
Rick,
This memo is in support of a resolution awarding an agreement for the design of
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) improvements to CH2MHill for the approximate
amount of $200,000.00.
The scope of work includes a new belt filter press, headworks improvements including
grinding, screening, cleaning, and compaction of cleanings, small bubble aeration with
new adjustable frequency drives and controls, investigation and improvements to
mitigate air leakage at the aeration basins and to the digester, cleaning the digester, and
any building upgrades required to accommodate new equipment. The design will also
include conducting a biosolids disposal alternative strategy session to review options for
biosolids disposal.
CH21VIHill has performed all of the major professional design, technical research, and
planning services for the WWTP including but not limited to: the original design, the
financial plan in 2003, the WWTP master plan in 2004, a pretreatment program technical
memorandum in 2012, and the operations and maintenance manual updates in 2014.
They have extensive, intimate, and very current knowledge of the design and operation
of our facility. As a result, award to CH2MHill will result in a more financially efficient
process and allow the City to provide the most developed design with the grant
application, which is due only one month from the July 2nd meeting.
KMC 7.15.050(e) allows for purchases without competitive bidding for professional
services. Due to the aggressive schedule and the consultants experience I recommend
this award. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
