Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a planned contract modification to increase funding for the professional engineering services contract with CDM Smith, Inc., for the Southerly Plant Wide Control System Improvements project, CIP #650378-100001, in an amount up to $3,894,000.00.
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage completed an evaluation of programmable logic controllers and monitoring equipment at both the Jackson Pike and Southerly Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) between March 2019 and May 2021. The evaluation identified control systems and components that are no longer supported by the original manufacturer and repair parts are difficult to acquire.
An RFP was formally advertised on the Vendor Services and Bonfire websites from 11/7/22 through 12/2/22 to select a company to design replacements for the antiquated control and monitoring systems and equipment identified throughout the Southerly WWTP. Funding was provided to analyze alternatives and perform preliminary engineering for the replacements. This phase has been completed.
The second phase (this modification) of the contract will perform detailed design engineering and develop biddable plans based on the decisions made in the first phase of the contract.
The Community Planning Area for this project is 99-Citywide
