Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. for Design of the Facilities Renovations Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant ($244,040.00)
Memorandum
We request your approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. (MPI) in the amount of $244,040.00 for design of the Facilities Renovations Project (FRP) at the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Specifically, the work to be performed under this amendment is to assist in the preparation and submittal of an application for a conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the floodwall that surrounds the WWTP site along the Huron River and Fleming Creek.
The FRP is one of two major plant renovations projects included in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for the WWTP. The FRP includes complete demolition and replacement of the older portion of the plant (West Plant) and modifications to the newer portion (East Plant), which will improve process reliability and ensure appropriate treatment capacity currently and in the future. The second major plant renovations project is the Residuals Handling Improvements Project (RHI), which includes demolition and replacement of existing solids handling equipment and systems with more effective and efficient equipment and systems, as well as demolition of the WWTP’s former sludge incinerator.
The first phase of the FRP involves demolition of two WWTP structures and minor utilities installation work, which is expected to start this winter. MPI is designing the second phase of the FRP. Construction is expected to start in early 2010 and will take approximately five years to complete. The RHI is currently being advertised for bids; construction is expected to begin in early 2009 and take approximately two years to complete. Both the FRP and the RHI are critical to maintaining treatment and solids proc...
