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.
