SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
ENGINEERING SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,127,876 BETWEEN
THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND BROWN
AND CALDWELL, INC., FOR CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES
TO REPLACE THE HEADWORKS AND PRIMARY CLARIFIER AREA
CONTROL PANELS (ACP) AND MOTOR CONTROL CENTERS (MCC)
(WW1203) AT THE JAMES R. DIIORIO WATER RECLAMATION
FACILITY AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance accepts an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and
Caldwell, Inc. for consulting engineering services relating to the replacement of the
existing Headworks and Primary Clarifier Area Control Center (ACP) and Motor Control
Center (MCC) which have been in place over 20 years at the James R Dilorio Water
Reclamation Facility.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On November 12, 2018 the City Council Approved Resolution No. 14081, selecting Brown
and Caldwell, Inc as the Engineer of Record for the Wastewater Treatment Department.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department operates the James R Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility
which treats municipal wastewater for the City. The Water Reclamation Facility requires
the use of Motor Control Centers (MCC) to control the electric motors and Area Control
Panels (ACP) to operate the headworks equipment, the primary pump station and primary
clarifier equipment. These ACP’s and MCC’s have been in place since 1989 and they are
past the useful life for both technology and structural integrity due to the corrosive
environment. This agreement will allow Brown and Caldwell Inc. to assist with design and
construction phase services for the evaluation and replacement of existing power
distribution and control systems.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the agreement with Brown and Caldwell to assist with design and construction
phase services for the evaluation and replacement of existing power distribution and
control systems will not exceed $1,127,876. Funds are available from the Sewer User
Fund and have been appropriated to Project No. WW1203
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
The no-action alternative would allow existing equipment to stay in place until failure.
Catastrophic failure will cause the Headworks and Primary Clarifiers to stop functioning,
causing the wastewater to stop flowing into the treatment facility. The wastewater will back
up in the facility as well the collection system flooding areas of the facility. This will cause
major damage to equipment and the possibility of permit violations as well as the
possibility of sewage backing up in homes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.

Brown and Caldwell, Inc.
