Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Public Utilities Director to modify and increase a contract with PAE and Associates Incorporated for the Installation of Aluminum Handrails at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant has numerous open concrete settling tanks that feature safety handrails around their perimeter to prevent anything from falling into the tanks. The tanks have been constructed over the last fifty (50) years and utilize various styles of handrails. Existing handrails and railing systems in several plant locations are deteriorating and are in need of replacement. This project was bid to be phased in over three (3) years and annual extensions are provided within the scope of the contract language. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage received formal bids on May 28, 2003 and entered into a time and materials contract with PAE and Associates. The additional money requested in this ordinance is to allow for the continuation of this project.
