DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility 2017 Process Improvements. The agreement will provide design documents for the next phase of nutrient reductions and process improvements. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION : Resolution No. 12828 - A resolution approving an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc., to provide engineering services for the Pueblo Wastewater Department. BACKGROUND : The Wastewater Department operates the 28 year old James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility, which recently received a new Colorado Discharge Permit that includes a compliance schedule to meet Water Quality Control Commission Regulation #85 nutrient standards. This agreement between the City and Brown and Caldwell, Inc. authorizes Brown and Caldwell, Inc. to provide treatment process design services to further enhance the efficiency of the current biological treatment process as well as reduce the energy used for aeration and reduce the chemical required for nutrient removal. In addition, some upgrades for aging systems for dewatering, centrifuge covers and the raw sewage pump station will be designed for upgrade. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS : Funds for payment for professional services under said Agreement in an amount not to exceed $1,393,468 shall be paid from appropriated funds budgeted, effective January 1, 2017, in the City’s 2017 Budget from the Sewer User Fund Project No. WW1703 – Aeration Improvements/Reg. 85, Project No. WW1702 – Centrifuge/Polymer Feed Replacement, Project No WW1701 – Screw Pump Replacement, Project No. WW1403 Digester Cover Rehab. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION : None STAKEHOLDER PROCESS : None ALTERNATIVES : The alternative is to not upgrade the nutrient process and face potential daily fines for noncompliance. The upgrades to equipment could be delayed until emergency repairs are required with potential noncompliance until the repair is completed. Additional power and chemical costs would also be incurred. RECOMMENDATION : Approval of the Resolution. Attachments : Agreement for Professional Engineering Services between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc.
