DIIORIO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY, TRANSFERRING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $108,549 FROM PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED (WW1499) TO NUTRIENT MASTER PLAN (WW1302), AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME SUMMARY: Attached is a Resolution accepting an agreement between the City and Brown and Caldwell, Inc., for preparation of a Master Plan for the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility and contributing lift stations. The primary goal of this master plan is to develop a capital improvement plan that identifies projects related to aging infrastructure, regulatory changes, and growth. This master plan will build on previous work recently completed for the City, with a focus on compliance with Regulation 31, and compliance with revised ammonia standards. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On November 25, 2013, the City Council approved Resolution No. 12828, selecting Brown and Caldwell, Inc. as the Engineer of Record for the Wastewater Department. BACKGROUND: The City of Pueblo operates the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility to provide treatment of municipal wastewater. The Water Reclamation Facility was constructed in the mid-1980s and came on line in 1987. The primary goal of this master plan is to develop a capital improvement plan that identifies projects related to aging infrastructure, regulatory changes, and growth. The project Nutrient Master Plan (Project WW1302) was established in 2013 with a budget of $250,000. The attached agreement prepared by Brown and Caldwell, Inc. reflects the work to be performed for the maximum sum of $358,549. An additional budget of $108,549 will be transferred to Project WW1302 from Projects to Be Determined (WW1499), creating a total budget of $358,549 in Project WW1302 . FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The master plan is scheduled for completion by mid-2015, at a maximum cost of $358,549. Funds have already been budgeted from the Sewer User Fund. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: The alternative to performing the master plan is to perform capital improvement projects on a reactive basis rather than proactively, causing decisions to be made and work to be performed in a less efficient and/or more costly manner. RECOMMENDATION: The Wastewater Department recommends approval of this Resolution. Attachments: Agreement for Professional Sevices between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc.
