Public Works Committee 5. 4. <br /> Meeting Date: 03/21/2017 <br /> Submitted For: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works <br /> By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works <br /> Title: <br /> Authorize Professional Services for Design and Installation of Emergency Generator at Well House 4 3 <br /> Purpose/Background: <br /> PURPOSE <br /> 1. Consider authorizing work outlined in attached RFP for Design and Installation of an Emergency Generator at <br /> Well 4 3 located at 7301 Bunker Lake Blvd. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> 2. Currently the City has a backup generator that operates well 4 5, if there were to be an extended power outage. <br /> Well 4 5 is capable of producing 850 gallons per minute (GPM). Our average consumption rate is 1120 GPM, so at <br /> present time our emergency back up well will not keep pace with our demand. The emergency generator for well 4 <br /> 3 is currently listed in our CIP as 4 16-WTR-00,that project sheet is attached to this case. The estimated cost for the <br /> design,purchase and installation of the emergency generator$115,000. City staff requested RFP's from three of the <br /> engineering firms in our engineering consultant pool. Those firms were Bolton&Menk Inc., SEH Inc and WSB <br /> and Associates. The Request for Proposals was also posted in the Anoka Union the weeks of February 24th and <br /> March 3rd. The city received two proposals, one from SEH Inc and the other from, Bolton &Menk Inc. The SEH <br /> Inc. proposal came in at$15,000.00, and the Bolton and Menk Inc. proposal was $11,310.00. <br /> Timeframe: <br /> 10-15 Minutes <br /> Observations/Alternatives: <br /> Well 4 3 can produce 1600 GPM, so combined with well 4 5 we would be able to produce 2450 GPM and keep <br /> pace with our daily demand over a long power outage.With well 4 3 online we would be better prepared to provide <br /> two of our most basic services to our residents, drinking water and fire protection. <br /> Funding Source: <br /> Utilities Fund <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Staff recommendation is to enter into a contract with Bolton&Menk Inc.to provide design and construction <br /> management for the installation of an emergency backup natural gas generator for Well 4 3 for a not to exceed <br /> amount of$11,310.00 <br /> Action: <br /> Motion to accept staff recommendation to enter into a contract with Bolton&Menk Inc.to provide design and <br /> construction management for the installation of an emergency backup natural gas generator for Well 4 3 for a not to <br /> exceed amount of$11,310.00 or reject staff recommendation and accept alternate recommendation based on <br /> committee discussion. <br /> Attachments <br />
