INTRODUCTION
The attached Resolution is in reference to the Public Hearing on the Plans and
Specifications, Form of Contract for the Eagle Point Water Plant Vacuum Filter Building
Back-up Power Supply Project (FY 2009 Budget).
BACKGROUND
The Eagle Point Water Plant provides the City with its potable water. During its Phase II
renovation project a standby generator was installed. This generator was installed to
provide power to the operations of the water plant facility and its well fields during
emergencies when Alliant Energy was unable to. At that time it was decided not to
connect the vacuum filter operations to the generator. By not having standby power to
this part of the operations could put the water system in the position of not being able to
provide soft water during lengthy emergency time periods.
DISCUSSION
The main scope of this project is for the construction for on-site power supply lines with
hardware to connect the vacuum filter building operation with the Water Plant's main
building generator.
BUDGET IMPACT
The estimate of probable cost for the Eagle Point Water Plant Vacuum Filter Building
Back-up Power Supply Project is as follows:
Construction Contract $ 76,842
Contingency 8,538
Construction Engineering & Inspection 18.050
Total Estimated Project Cost $ 103,430
NOTE: This project will be funded through the City Water Department FY2009 CIP
Fund Code 740 2030 (Budgeted amount $92,000).
The cost difference of $11,430 from the projected project cost of $103,430 and the
actual monies budgeted of $92,000 would be made up from cost savings from other
scheduled water capital improvement projects. They are as follows:
CIP NO. FUND DESCRIPTION FUND BALANCE AMOUNT
740 2031 Olympic Heights Pump Station $18,589.97
740 1832 Chlorine Sample Stations $16,362.80
RECOMMENDATION
am recommending that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the Plans,
Specifications, Form of Contract and the Estimated Cost for the Eagle Point Water Plant
Vacuum Filter Building Back-up Power Supply Project.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to approve the attached Resolution adopting the Plans,
Specifications, Form of Contract and the Estimated Cost for the Eagle Point Water Plant
Vacuum Filter Building Back-up Power Supply Project.
