Title
Resolution to Award Contract for the Lime Feed System Improvements Project to Irish Construction Company ($2,895,000.00)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to Irish Construction Company for the Lime Feed System Improvements Project ($2,895,000.00).
The Lime Feed System Improvements Project is included as a high priority project for 2010 in the City’s approved Capital Improvement Plan. This project includes replacing three lime slakers and modifying the associated lime storage bins at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The existing lime slakers are in poor condition and were identified during the WTP Facilities Master Plan - 2006 as one of the highest priority capital improvements. The lime slakers are some of the most critical pieces of equipment at the WTP. Without operating slakers, the treatment process is ineffective and the WTP would not be able to meet state drinking water standards. A second critical component to this project is address safety concerns associated with the existing lime bins. The WTP has experienced several lime slides of varying degrees over the past 5 years that have caused minor injury to staff and damaged lime slaking and other equipment in the vicinity. Modifications to the bins will eliminate the occurrence of these events.
