Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract modification for professional engineering services with Burgess & Niple, Inc. for the JPWRP Screening Improvements project, CIP #650252-100010, in an amount up to $2,380,053.00.
The Jackson Pike Water Reclamation Plant (JPWRP) operates two (2) mechanical screens to remove large debris as wastewater enters the plant as part of their headworks treatment process. The current screenings press, installed in 2008 as part of Contract J210 to consolidate, compact, and dewater the captured debris, is unable to process the large amount of leaves and debris that is captured by the mechanical screens. Additionally, the Screen Room was constructed in the 1930s and requires a holistic evaluation to ensure the equipment and building systems are providing the appropriate service for treatment and plant staff.
Public Utilities has a contract with Burgess & Niple for Professional Engineering Services (Design Professional, or “DP” services) for the JPWRP Screenings Improvements project. Burgess & Niple completed Preliminary Design Services (Step 1), is currently providing Detailed Design and Bidding Services (Step 2), and will provide Services During Construction (Step 3) soon.
The initial contract provided funding for Preliminary Design Services (Step 1). Modification No. 1 to the contract was provided previously to fund Detailed Design and Bidding Services (Step 2). Modification No. 2 was an unplanned modification that revised the scope of services to meet the revised plan for JPWRP’s screenings facility and continue with detailed design. This modification (Modification No. 3) will add funding for Detailed Design and Bidding Services (Step 2) and Engineering Services During Construction (Step 3).
