| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M Rivera – Public Works Director | | DATE: | 2/4/2025 | | RE: | ITB25-004 WWTP Clarifier No. 4 Clarifier Steel Recoating Bid Award |
REQUEST:
Attached for City Council review and consideration is a memorandum from Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Operations Manager regarding a bid award recommendation for the scheduled rehabilitation of clarifier tank No. 4 at the WWTP. Three (3) sealed bids were opened by the City on January 14, 2025 with the low bid being submitted by Quick Painting Group of Orlando, Florida in the amount of $90,000. The review by City staff has indicated the bid by Quick Painting Group meets all City specifications.
DISCUSSION:
The planned clarifier rehabilitation project is part of the ongoing preventative maintenance program at the WWTP. The clarifiers at the plant are an integral part of the treatment process and the internal mechanisms must be renewed or refurbished as necessary, or the equipment will be subject to failure. Failure of the clarifier mechanisms and process will result in exceedances of the WWTP Department of Environmental Protection Operating Permit parameters and subject the City (and County) to a possible Consent Order and/or daily fines.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the low bid and project award are recommended.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding is identified as Water Pollution Control Capital Equipment/Improvement Program Account No. 401112.46399. Additionally, as members of the City Council will recall, Pasco County funds 42% of the capital expenditures for the City Wastewater Treatment Facility and Reclaimed Water Facility by Interlocal Agreement.
