Public Works Committee <br />Meeting Date: 03/21/2017 <br />Submitted For: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works <br />By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works <br />5. 4. <br />Title: <br />Authorize Professional Services for Design and Installation of Emergency Generator at Well House # 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 # 3 located at 7301 Bunker Lake Blvd. <br />BACKGROUND <br />2. Currently the City has a backup generator that operates well # 5, if there were to be an extended power outage. <br />Well # 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 # <br />3 is currently listed in our CIP as # 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 # 3 can produce 1600 GPM, so combined with well # 5 we would be able to produce 2450 GPM and keep <br />pace with our daily demand over a long power outage. With well # 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 # 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 # 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 />
