SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE
AMOUNT OF $123,633.00 TO INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTORS /
MANAGERS, INC. AND SETTING FORTH $12,363.30 FOR
CONTINGENCIES AND ADDITIONAL WORK FOR PROJECT NO. 25-

SUMMARY:
This Resolution awards a construction contract to Industrial Constructors / Managers,
Inc. for Project No. 25-073 (WWAN04), FY2025 Wastewater Secondary Clarifier #2
Rehabilitation at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The project will
replace the damaged AR plate.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The WRF treats all the wastewater for the City of Pueblo, and the Secondary Clarifier is
the final step in the separation of the solids from the water. The plate in the secondary
clarifier is worn out and is causing issues with the seals. The suction manifold will need
to be replaced due to the age and lack of suction it is producing. The scum trough will
need to be repaired due to the ware of the arms that rub while going under the trough
and which has almost rubbed completely through the trough. Without this rehabilitation,
it puts the facility at risk not to have a backup in case of an outage of another clarifier.
To protect the public interest, this secondary clarifier requires rehabilitation. Specifically,
this project will consist of removing the old suction manifold, scum trough and removing
the old wear plate from the bottom of the clarifier, installing a new wear plate, grouting
the wear plate, installing the suction manifold, installing the refurbished scum trough and
installing new manifold gaskets and seals.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the construction project was bid at $123,633.00 with contingencies of
$12,363.30 Funds are available from the Sewer User Funds and appropriated to Project
No. 25-073 (WWAN04).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
If no rehabilitation is performed on the secondary clarifier, the condition of the secondary
clarifier will continue to deteriorate until an emergency repair is required. The Water
Reclamation Facility would also risk violating its discharge permit if a secondary clarifier
outage were to happen.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
