ISSUE
Should the City Council award a construction contract in the amount of $49,880 to Glacier
Construction Co., Inc. to install Launder Covers on the Secondary Clarifiers at the James R.
DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility project?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Wastewater treatment at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility requires that water
pass through a secondary clarifier before undergoing chemical or ultraviolet disinfection. The
water passes through the clarifiers via a weir and trough before being transported to the
disinfection part of the process. Due to temperature, rays from the sun, and nutrient rich water,
green algae forms in the trough. These algae put a strain on the treatment process, wear out
equipment and increase maintenance costs. Upon death, the algae release phosphorus in
amounts that will violate effluent limits for phosphorus that will be established pursuant to the
water quality standards for nutrients adopted in 2012. The launder covers will block the sun's
rays and slow the algae growth thus cutting down on the aforementioned issues and costs. The
launder covers have been purchased and are on site. This resolution awards a contract for
launder cover installation.
The bid summary sheet is attached. Three contractors qualified to submit bids and Glacier
Construction Co., Inc. was found to be the most responsive.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will be taken from the Sewer User Fund. Funding for Project No. 12-065
(WW1207) is available and was appropriated in the 2012 budget.
