Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional services agreement with Black and Veatch, Inc. for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Multiple Hearth Incinerator Improvements Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The WWTF Multiple Hearth Incinerator Improvements consist of CIP # 650249-100002 for $333,470.00 and CIP # 650343-100002 for $460,506.00. The estimated total project will be up to $793,976.00. The contract provides preliminary design, detailed design, and construction service; however, only Preliminary Design is included in this initial agreement with the remaining services added with subsequent contract modifications. The purpose of the Preliminary Design is to perform a condition assessment on the existing incinerators at both WWTPs and determine the scope of work required to improve reliability of the incinerator system with emphasis on determining the required air pollution control devices necessary to meet the new 2016 federal Sewage Sludge Incinerator (SSI) rule for Maximum Achievable Control Technologies. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.

The project will be a multiyear multiphase project that will renew approximately annually with adjustments to fees and scope of work for each phase:
