Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract renewal for professional engineering services with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns and Dehaven dba GPD Group, Inc. for the Sanitary Pump Station Evaluation & Upgrade Program, CIP #650660-100000, in an amount up to $300,000.00.
DOSD operates sixteen (16) Stormwater Pump Stations and sixteen (16) Sanitary Pump Stations. There will be two individual programs; one for the Stormwater Pump Stations (Hatch) and one for the Sanitary Pump Stations (GPD). Each program will 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 evaluation and assessments for each pump station will be summarized into a Technical Memorandum (TM). 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.
GPD began their work after Notice to Proceed (NTP) was given on 1/27/22. The duration of the engineering agreement is expected to be three (3) years. The professional services shall be funded by incremental appropriation, through the use of approximately annual renewals. This is the first of two (2) planned renewals. The second and final renewal is planned for 2024.
These Sanitary Pump Stations serve multiple planning areas so this project is coded as “99 - Citywide”.
