| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M Rivera – Public Works Director | | DATE: | 4/6/2023 | | RE: | ITB23-009 Bid Award – WWTP Tank No.2 Clarifier Cleaning and Thermoplastic Powder Coating - Page 45 |
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 planned secondary clarifier rehabilitation project at the WWTP. Two (2) sealed bids were opened by the City on February 17, 2023 with the low bid being submitted by Titan Construction Management LLC of Tarpon Springs, Florida in the amount of $57,350.00. The review by City staff has indicated that bid submitted by Titan Construction Management LLC 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 49% of the capital expenditures for the City Wastewater Treatment Facility and Reclaimed Water Facility by Interlocal Agreement.
