2020 SELENIUM REDUCTION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE

SUMMARY:
This Resolution awards a construction contract to K.R. Swerdfeger Construction, Inc. for 2020
Selenium Reduction Project. The project will install grout around the sewer service laterals up to
15 feet, place Cured-In-Place pipe and epoxy coat manholes in areas determined to be high in
selenium to reduce selenium infiltration as per the condition of the discharger specific variance
as determined by the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The 2020 Selenium Reduction Project is an ongoing project for the City in its effort to reduce
selenium in the effluent discharged from the James R. Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility to
Segment 1a of the Lower Arkansas River in agreement with the terms of the Discharger Specific
Variance approved by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The service laterals, manholes and pipe segments
to be rehabilitated in this project flow into sections of the sanitary main that have been tested
during two wet weather periods and testing will continue after the repairs have been performed
to determine the degree in which selenium has been reduced by eliminating groundwater
infiltration into the system. This data will be reported to EPA and CDPHE.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the construction project was bid at $2,840,254 with contingencies of $568,050. Funds
are available from the Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted and appropriated to Project
No. 20-001 (WW1503).
