Memorandum
Attached for your approval is a resolution to approve a construction contract with RAM Construction Services of Michigan, Inc. (RAM), in the amount of $709,510.00 for the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Equalization and Retention Building Roof Repairs.
The Approved Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) contained the Retention and Tertiary Piping Replacement (UT-SN-22-06) project. This project evaluated the condition of existing piping, pumps and valves in the Retention and Tertiary buildings of the WRRF. In addition, the structural integrity of the concrete equalization and retention tanks, including the concrete roof of the equalization and retention building, were also evaluated by Orchard, Hiltz & McCliment, Inc. (OHM) in advance of the planned installation of solar panels.
As a result of the inspection of the concrete roof of the Equalization and Retention Building in the fall of 2024, it became clear that some repairs would be needed prior to the installation of solar panels to prevent the potential disturbance of the solar panels during their useful life. The recommended repairs include: cleaning and removal of existing debris from the roof; cleaning of existing roof drains; the addition of new roof drains; securing existing metal posts; removal and replacement of the existing protective coating; and the removal and repairing of existing concrete structures on the roof.
Fishbeck created bid documents and plans detailing the work necessary to complete the repairs of the concrete roof of the Equalization and Retention Tanks.
