WW9999 TO PROJECT NO. WW2304 AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,029,328 BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND BROWN AND CALDWELL, INC., FOR CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES WITH RESPECT TO THE SECONDARY CLARIFIERS PROJECT. SUMMARY: This Ordinance accepts an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc. for consulting engineering services relating to the design of three secondary clarifiers 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 is requesting design services with respect to constructing three new clarifiers to comply with the conditions in the dewatering permit for the James D. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility wells. The groundwater that is discharged from the wells has high concentrations of selenium and manganese. The new clarifiers will be built above the ground water level, so when maintenance is done on the clarifiers the groundwater does not have to be pumped down by the wells. The design will be used to apply for funding for this project both through the state revolving fund program and the federal WIFIA (Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act) program. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The cost of the agreement with Brown and Caldwell to provide design services for the rehabilitation project will not exceed $1,029,328. Funds will be appropriated from Projects to be Determined No. WW9999 to Project No. WW2304 from the Sewer Use Fund. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None ALTERNATIVES: The no-action alternative would cause the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility to be out of compliance with the dewatering permit and the State of Colorado to enforce the facility with fines and other penalties. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 06-12-23 Secondary clarifer project agreement
