SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve an Engineer of Record (EOR) work order to McKim and Creed, Inc. in the amount of $195,300.00 to provide a systematic inspection of the Beach Area sanitary manholes and perform night flow isolations study; and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
Recent Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) investigations have determined that there is extensive brackish ground water infiltrating the sanitary sewer system located on the City’s barrier islands. A significant portion of this flow is attributed to leaky manholes. This type of infiltration negatively affects the operation of the Marshall Street Water Reclamation Facility resulting in lower quality (higher chloride) reclaimed water production.
The manhole inspections and night flow isolations study will be performed during the 2017 summer rainy season with the final report issued shortly thereafter. It is hoped that the findings will result in future I&I reducing repairs & remediation during the dry winter months of 2017/2018.
This work order was negotiated in accordance with the Consultant’s Competitive Negotiations Act.
The City of Clearwater’s Public Utilities Department is responsible for owning, operating and maintaining wastewater collection system.
