Reclamation Facility influent screw pump replacement.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Resolution
BACKGROUND
Pueblo's Water Reclamation Facility was designed and constructed in the mid- 1980's.
The pumps selected to move wastewater into the facility were 48 -foot, 72 -inch diameter
enclosed screw pumps that are now 20 years old and in need of significant repair. The
pumps are obsolete and repair parts cannot be obtained. Maintenance is costly and
time - consuming. The Wastewater Department desires to replace one of the
existing influent screw pumps with a pair of submersible pumps. Submersible
pumps will provide upgraded technology and more energy- efficient operation,
along with the capability to replace individual pumps if necessary.
The project requires civil and electrical engineering design work that is beyond
the capability of the Wastewater Department. Black and Veatch Corporation was
selected through a competitive bid process to serve as the Engineer of Record
for the Wastewater Department, providing specialized design and construction
services of the type required for this project.
A copy of the agreement with Black & Veatch is attached.
