BACKGROUND The Water & Resource Recovery Center (WRRC) is a critical part of Dubuque's public infrastructure, providing wastewater treatment services for residential, commercial, and industrial users throughout the region. The facility underwent a major upgrade in 2013, which included the installation of automated control systems that act as the `brains' of the WRRC across multiple buildings, telling treatment equipment when to turn on, off, or adjust, while also monitoring overall performance. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the WRRC's control equipment began to face unexpected challenges. Global supply chain disruptions caused manufacturers to shift their limited resources away from supporting older equipment models into their new product lines. As a result, many electrical components that would typically remain supported for 20 years or more were prematurely discontinued. This has made it increasingly difficult, and in some cases impossible, to find replacement parts for key control systems. To address this issue, a multi -phase capital improvement project was developed to modernize the WRRC's control systems. Funding for the Industrial Controls Upgrade project [4381500017] was approved by the City Council as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. The total project cost was originally estimated to be $3 million and was to be funded over three years through a combination of Sanitary Sewer Construction Funds and State Revolving Fund loans. DISCUSSION The Industrial Controls Upgrade project will be implemented in multiple phases to ensure continuity of operations and minimize disruption to critical treatment processes. Each Page 731 of 1171 phase will target a subset of buildings, allowing for a controlled transition to modern control infrastructure while maintaining full facility functionality. Phase I, the 2025 Water & Resource Recovery Center MCC Communications and PLC Upgrades (Project), will focus on Building 10 (Headworks) and Building 75 (Solids Handling). These buildings were prioritized due to the complexity of their control systems, and the critical nature of their processes. Notably, Building 75 contains the largest number of electrical control components at the WRRC. Replacing this equipment early addresses a high -priority area and also creates an opportunity to salvage the functional legacy components which can be used in the event of electrical control failure in other buildings before their scheduled upgrades. The project construction work will span nearly two years from bid opening to final acceptance. After the contract award, the contractor will prepare and submit shop drawings for engineer review. Once approved, the contractor will order the electrical control equipment which has a long lead time. Delivery of the electrical control components is not expected until late 2026, with installation, testing, and commissioning continuing into mid-2027. The schedule for the Project is as follows: Initiate Public Bidding Process September 15, 2025 Publish Notice to Bidders, Advertise for Bids September 16, 2025 Publish Public Hearing Notice on Plans & Specs September 19, 2025 Public Hearing on Plans & Specifications October 6, 2025 Receipt of Bids (Bid Letting) October 23, 2025 Award Construction Contract November 3, 2025 Final Completion August 25, 2027 The estimate of probable construction cost for the Project is $2,950,000.00. The estimate of all Project costs, including engineering and construction costs, is as follows: Description Cost Estimate Engineering Design $110,000 Construction Contract $2,950,000 Contingency (5%) $147,500 Administration and Construction Engineering $105,000 Total Construction Cost Estimate $3,212,500 The explosion that occurred in Building 75 in early December 2024, caused significant damage to a portion of the Building 75 motor control center (MCC) which houses the building's electrical control systems. Following the December 2024 explosion, the City worked with engineering consultant Strand Associates to assess the full extent of the damage and determine how it would 2 Page 732 of 1171 affect the broader electrical and process systems in the building. One of the modifications that came about was to shift the Building 75 MCC eastward into the former operator control room which was damaged by the explosion. The December 2024 event is a covered cause of loss under the City's insurance policy. The total cost of the loss is currently estimated at between $3 million and $4 million. Of that amount, approximately $966,000 is associated with the cost to replace the damaged portion of the electrical controls in Building 75. The work to replace the damaged electrical controls in the Building 75 MCC will be accomplished as part of the 2025 WRRC MCC Communications and PLC Upgrades Project. These expenses are to be funded through insurance proceeds, which are to be reflected in the Fiscal Year 2026 CIP Budget as part of Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Amendment. RECOMMENDATION I recommend preliminary approval of the proposed plans, specifications, form of contract, and construction estimate for the 2025 Water & Resource Recovery Center MCC Communications and PLC Upgrades project. I further recommend establishing the date of a public hearing and authorization to advertise for bids for the Project.
