Executive Summary - PBS&J Study Phase Reoort
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
In May, 2000, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select a consultant to perform an engineering
study of the solids handling process at the City's Little Cedar Bayou Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Firm of
CDM was selected, and subsequently designed the improvements funded by the recent bond issue. Phase II of the
Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements included the examination and possible improvements to the aeration
process of the Plant. Funds remaining from the bond issue were set aside, in the amount of$100,000, in the FY 03-
04 General Obligation Bond Fund (Fund 43) to perform the Study. The firm ofPBS&J, Inc. was selected to perform
the Study for Phase II Improvements at the Plant at a cost of$58,090.00.
The Study recommended the replacement of existing aeration equipment (funded under a separate Project) and begin
the design ofa new treatment aeration train to increase the capacity of the plant to 5.5 MGD (see attached Executive
Summary from Study). PBS&J has provided a proposal and Agreement to perform a Preliminary Engineering
Report (PER) that will establish the final scope of work for final design, examine various aeration alternatives and
recommend most cost-effective, and provide a detailed cost estimate for consideration ofa future bond issue. Total
cost for preparing the PER is $99,125.
Action Reauired bv Council: Approve an Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Professional Service Agreement with PBS&J to perform an Preliminary Engineering Report for the Little
Cedar Bayou Wastewater Treatment Plant in an amount of $99, 125.00.
Approved for City Council Aeenda
