Date: 2/27/2006 <br />Final Action Needed By: <br />2/27/2006 <br /> <br />'''''''i,~:>~;' <br />Agenda Item i?ll~,1 <br />,:IL.,_iVl, <br />2006 Lift Station Proiect <br /> <br />Budgeted Amount: $560.000.00 <br /> <br />Actual Amount: $34.817.85 <br /> <br />Funding Source: Sanitary Sewer Fund <br /> <br />Council Action Request: <br />Reject Bids for the 2006 Lift Station Reconstruction Project. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Based upon the projected Sanitary Sewer Fund balance. the immediate need to address inflow and <br />infiltration (1&1) and the possibility of acquiring SCADA, staff is recommending to delay the lift station <br />reconstruction project and reject the current bids. <br /> <br />Advisory Commission Action: <br /> <br />Commission <br /> <br />Date <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Not <br /> <br />Supporting Documents (which are attached to this Action Form): <br />. D Memo/Letter: <br /> <br />D Resolution (No. ) <br /> <br />D Ordinance (No. ) <br /> <br />[8J Englneering Recommendation: <br />If none of the lift stations are reconstructed at this time. the O&M department feels that the lift <br />stations will be able to be properly maintained. While it is difficult to acquire parts for these lift <br />stations due to their relative age. O&M has successfully managed to manufacture necessary <br />parts as needed. Another reason O&M feels the current lift stations can be maintained as,is for <br />the next few years is that these stations serve areas of low flows. While some of the failures that <br />have occurred in the past three to five years have triggered the alarm systems. the problems <br />were addressed and failures repaired prior to causing any sewer back,ups. In the case of Lift <br />Station #13, which was struck by lightning, the back,ups resulted from an error in the notification <br />procedure, causlng a delayed response time. <br /> <br />D Attorney Recommendation: <br /> <br />[8J Other: <br />Budget summary of engineering services to date, as provided by URS. <br /> <br />Financiallmplicalions: <br />$34,817.85 have been spent in engineering fees for design of the project. The plans for the project have <br />been completed, and should need little to no revision upon re-advertisement for bid. Rescheduling the <br />project will, however, result in some additional costs to re'advertise the project and obtain new bids. <br />Future bids are also anticipated to be higher than current blds, due to increasing construction and <br />manufacturer's costs. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
