BACKGROUND
The electrical equipment at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility has passed its
normal design life and requires constant maintenance. The Water Reclamation Facility
depends on electricity to operate the various wastewater treatment processes. Electrical supply
components at the facility have at times failed to operate. This is unacceptable and could lead
to the inability to treat wastewater and to noncompliance of state requirements. It is the intent of
this on-going project to rehabilitate key electrical supply equipment in stages to avoid any
service disruptions or permit violations. This first project will replace 2 transformers that serve
as stepping stones to further projects. This project is vital to the smooth operation of treatment
processes at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility.
Two (2) contractors qualified to submit bids and Main Electric, LTD. was found to be the most
responsive and responsible of those bids. The bid summary sheet and site map are attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will be taken from the Sewer User Fund. Funding for Project No.13-062
.
(WW1203) is available and was appropriated in the 2013 budget
