Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract modification for professional engineering services with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns & Dehaven, Inc. for the Sanitary Pump Station Evaluation & Upgrade Program, CIP #650660-100000, in an amount up to $300,000.00.

DOSD operates sixteen Stormwater Pump Stations and sixteen Sanitary Pump Stations. A Request for Proposals was issued in 2021 and the Sanitary Pump Stations contract was awarded to Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns & Dehaven, Inc. The contract work is to perform a holistic evaluation of each pump station; assess their structural, mechanical, process, electrical, and I&C components; identify needs and improvements; and identify risks and safety issues.

The recommended improvements listed in the Technical Memorandums will be refined into Improvement Plans that will be used by the City to systematically upgrade the pump stations.

These Sanitary Pump Stations serve multiple planning areas so this project is coded as “99 - Citywide”.
