McGuire, L'ngineer III SUBJECT: WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY BELT FILTER PRESS EQUIPMENT REHABILITATION, SPECIFICATION No. 90638 CAO RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Approve plans and specifications for "Water Reclamation Facility Belt Filter Press Equipment rehabilitation"% Specification No. 90638. 2. Authorize Staff to advertise for bids and authorize the City Administrative Officer to award the contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the Engineer's Estimate of$150;000. DISCUSSION The belt filter press building and equipment, part of the Water Reclamation Facility, was constructed in 1997 (see attached Vicinity Map). Since that time, the main structural components of the building are starting to show signs of peeling paint and rusting of the steel underneath due to the corrosive environment of the Water Reclamation Facility. Also, equipment components, equipment support brackets, doors and piping are peeling and rusting. To protect the building structure and equipment from further deterioration and costly replacements, the cleaning, painting and replacement of building structural framing, roof fascia, doors, lighting fixtures, drain pipes, and miscellaneous components is presently required. CONCURRENCES The project has the approval of the Utilities and Public Works Departments. FISCAL IMPACT The 2005-07 Financial Plan, Appendix B, page 111, originally identified $85,000 to support this project. The difference in the estimated cost in the Financial Plan and the current estimate is likely a result of rising fuel and labor costs along with the intricate means and methods required for cleaning and painting the structure and equipment. The additional funding needed will come from the Major Equipment Replacement Account which has a balance of$1,125,856 to support this project. The Major Equipment Replacement master account funds the routine maintenance of various plant facilities. If the funding is inadequate to complete all projects listed in the Financial Plan the lower priority projects will'be deferred to future years. Construction: $150,000 Construction Contingency: 15,000 i WRF Belt Filter Press Equipment Rehabilitation Page 2 Inspection/Testing: 12,000 Printing/Advertising: 1,000 Miscellaneous Costs: 2,000 Total: $180,000 ALTERNATIVES Defer the Project.. If peeling paint and rusting is allowed to continue, the building frame and equipment components will continue to deteriorate, to the point of more costly replacement or repair.
