Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) operates and maintains the 55.5 million gallon per day Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (“SRWWTP”) which includes various sewage treatment processes essential for public health and safety.
The Department identified the need to rehabilitate Clarifier No. 1 at the SRWWTP to ensure the proper functioning of the biological processes at the facility. This project will include the replacement of the clarifier center assembly, drive motor, seals, rake blades, skimmer arms, pipes and scum scrapers, as well as miscellaneous metal repairs and alarm controls.
On August 30, 2023, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2023-251, which authorized the execution of continuing professional consulting engineering services agreements with five firms for Water Treatment Plant and SRWWTP Projects, one of the firms being Carollo Engineers, Inc. (“Carollo”).
Department staff requested a proposal from Carollo for professional engineering services for the SRWWTP Clarifier No. 1 Rehabilitation, including detailed design and bidding assistance services, based on the hourly rate schedule established in the Professional Services Agreement dated October 5, 2023. Carollo submitted a proposal to provide said engineering services in an amount up to $467,778.00.
Department staff reviewed the proposal submitted by Carollo and determined that the scope and fees are fair, reasonable, and in accordance with industry standards.
