AT THE JAMES R. DIIORIO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY AND
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution awarding a construction contract to Desco Acquisition LLC. dba
Blackeagle Energy Service for Project No. 22-029 (WWAN04), FY2022. Remove and install
Gritt Classifier, Primary Grinder, Primary Sludge Pump, and (2) Primary Scum Pumps at the
James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility treats wastewater for the City of Pueblo. The
Gritt Classifier is no longer supported by the manufacturer and needs to be replaced with a
newer model. The Primary Grinder was removed from the Primary Clarifier and not replaced at
that time, the grinder chops up the debris before going into the digester, the Primary Grinder
needs to be installed to prevent formation of rags in the digester. The Primary Sludge Pump is
the back up to the main pumps and is currently undersized and needs to be replaced to be a
full-size backup. The Primary Scum Pumps removes the waste and debris from the Primary
Clarifier waste boxes and pumps it to the dissolved air floatation (DAF) building, the pumps are
not supported by the manufacturer. The Primary Scum Pumps are currently leaking, and no
parts are available to repair them. The Primary Scum Pumps need to be replaced to ensure the
waste is removed from the waste boxes.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the construction project was bid at $227,017 with contingencies of $22,701. Funds
are available from the Rehabilitation Funds and appropriated to Project No. 22-029 (WWAN04).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1 - No Action
If no upgrades are performed on the Gritt Classifier, Primary Grinder, Primary Sludge pump, and
Primary Scum Pumps the condition of the equipment would continue to deteriorate until an
emergency repair is required at a higher cost than a planned project. The James R. DiIorio
Water Reclamation Facility would also risk violating its discharge permit if the equipment
upgrades are not upgraded, and an outage were to happen.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
