Replacements
SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, Utility Directop� f
DATE: January 14, 2011
BACKGROUND: On December 13, 2010, the City Commission awarded the contract for
Bid No. 1011 -01 Wastewater Treatment Plant #1 Improvements to WPC Industrial Contractors,
LLC. At that time, staff recommended deferring Additive Alternate #2 — Slide Gates pending a
determination of whether repair of the gate seals would be adequate.
The additive alternate involves 18 large slide gates that are used to isolate tanks or sections of
tanks to change flow patterns or to allow for maintenance and repair of a tank and its equipment.
Staff met on -site with the contractor, engineer and plant operators and determined that repairing
the gate seals would still not allow for proper tank isolation due to deterioration and corrosion of
the gates. In addition, some of the gates have broken operators and valve stems and staff was not
able to obtain replacement parts from the manufacturer. Some of the gates will need replacement
before the contractor can proceed with construction in certain tanks.
BUDGET: The bid price for Additive Alternate #2 — Slide Gates was $245,000. Funds are
available in the Sewer Fund under account number 410 - 5508 -535 -6300, as Bid No. 1011 -01
came in well under budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Award Additive Alternate #2 for Bid No. 1011 -01— Slide Gates to
WPC Industrial Contractors, LLC in the amount of $245,000.
