Memorandum
Your approval is requested to award a contract to Sorensen Gross Construction Services, L.L.C. (Sorenson) for $1,474,000.00 to construct the Facilities Renovations - Storage Building Demolition and Improvements Project (SBDI) for the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
The Facilities Renovations Project (FRP) is one of two major plant renovation 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 FRP is a two-phase project that will extend over six fiscal years. The first phase is the SBDI, which is scheduled to start this winter and last approximately 12 months. The SBDI includes demolition of the Solids Reaeration Tank and the former Solids Handling Building, as well as electrical modifications to enable existing equipment to be powered during construction. Both project phases are critical to maintaining treatment and solids processing capacity at the WWTP and are sequenced to minimize construction conflicts, risks and financial impacts to the City.
