Title

Authorize the City Manager to Issue a Purchase Order to Capital Contractors, LLC, Utilizing Contract 2023-030CC for the South Water Treatment Plant Pipe Trough Repairs for Concrete Repairs and Replacement of the Corroded Grating Supports with Aluminum Angles and Stainless-Steel Anchors in the Amount of $75,500.00 - Jeffrey E. Poteet, General Manager, Water & Sewer Department.

Body                     

BACKGROUND: 

The South Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) uses reverse osmosis to treat brackish groundwater from the Mid-Hawthorn Aquifer. The groundwater contains naturally occurring hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), which can be released from raw-water piping and collect in the low-lying troughs that house treatment piping.

The affected troughs were constructed in 1989 (almost 40 yrs ago). Over time, H₂S exposure has deteriorated portions of the concrete and corroded the metal supports beneath the trough grating. Staff has isolated and roped off the affected areas because the supports can no longer be considered safe for employees to walk across.

Staff obtained two quotes for the repairs. Capital Contractors, LLC submitted the lower quote of $75,500, compared with $89,150 from Engineered Coatings Solutions, LLC. Capital Contractors is on the City’s continuing services contract. Its proposed work includes repairing the concrete and replacing the corroded grating supports with aluminum angles and stainless steel anchors.

FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for these needed structural repairs is available in the approved FY2027 Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Program under GL Account No. 430-5300-5360-606300-16166, Structural Improvement Program. The total fiscal impact associated with this proposal is $75,500.00. 

RECOMMENDATION: 

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase order to Capital Contractors, LLC, in the amount of $75,500.00 for concrete repairs and replacement of the corroded grating supports with aluminum angles and stainless-steel anchors at the City’s South Water Treatment Plant, and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

POTENTIAL MOTION:  

“I move to authorize the City Manager to issue a Purchase Order to Capital Contractors, LLC, for concrete repairs and replacement of the corroded grating supports with aluminum angles and stainless-steel anchors at the City’s South Water Treatment Plant, in the amount of $75,500.00.”
