<br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Budeet <br />UTL980 <br />Source of Funds: GEN938 <br />045-9892-980-1100 <br />Account Number: 049-9892-938-5110 <br />$178,570 <br />Amount Budgeted $172,000 <br /> <br />Agenda Date Requested: <br /> <br />J~ <br /> <br />Requested By: Steve Gillett <br /> <br />Department: Public Works <br /> <br />Report: x Resolution: <br /> <br />Ordinance <br /> <br />Exhibits: Change Order No.3 <br /> <br />Amount Requested: $ 214,679 <br /> <br />Exhibits: CSA Constructioll Proposal <br /> <br />Budgeted Item: no <br /> <br />Exhibits PBS&J Recommendation <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />During the days following Hurricane Ike there were several generators available to power the <br />City's Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). The WWTP does not have the electrical <br />switchgear to connect a generator in a timely and safe manner. State legislation in all likelihood <br />will require the City to install automatic electrical switchgear and possibly a generator at the <br />WWTP. The City directed the Engineer, PBS&J, to design switchgear to allow the Contractor <br />(CSA Construction) to submit a quote for a change order. <br /> <br />The Contractor has submitted a quote to the Engineer for an automatic transfer switch gear for <br />$210,679. The automatic feature would allow for automatic start of a generator if a pennanent <br />generator installation is done in the future. <br /> <br />In addition there are currently three (3) metered services at the WWTP. Reconfiguring the <br />service into the plant with the electric switchgear installation will eliminate one of the meter <br />services and eliminate the monthly charge of $1 05 for one service. There will be a one time <br />charge of approximately $4,000 from Center Point to reconfigure the electric service drops to the <br />WWTP. <br /> <br />Funds are available from cost savings during the WWTP expansion and Utility Line Relocation <br />Project for the Fainnont Parkway widening project. <br /> <br /> <br />~ (n If)" <br /> <br />Date <br />
