7. 4. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 07/09/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title: Adopt Resolution#24-181 Accepting Quotes and Awarding Contract for Improvement Project#24-56, Lift Station No. 1 Permanent Generator Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution#24-181 accepting quotes and awarding a construction contract for Improvement Project#24-56, Lift Station No. 1 Permanent Generator. Background: The 2024—2033 Capital Improvement Program includes proposed project#24-SEW-002,Lift Station No. 1 Rehab and Generator,proposed for construction in 2025 at an estimated cost of$175,000. This project proposes to rehabilitate sanitary sewer Lift Station No. 1,which is located at 13659 - 137th Avenue, by replacing the original base elbows and forcemain,upsizing the pumps, and installing a permanent emergency power supply generator on site. This work will serve to replace deteriorating pipes and fittings,to accommodate increased sewage flowrates that have occurred since the lift station was constructed in 1990, and to prevent sewage from backing up into businesses and residences served by this and other lift stations during major power outages. During power outages, staff tows a portable generator on a trailer to this and other lift stations that don't have permanent generators. Staff pumps each station down,then disconnects the generator and moves to the next station, and repeats the process until power is restored. However, due to the constant and heavy sewage flowrates processed through this station, staff would not have the ability to disconnect the portable generator in the event of a long-term power outage, leaving other lift stations without power and possibly backing sewage up into neighboring homes and businesses. On April 9, 2024, City Council approved a proposal from Bolton&Menk, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $26,400 to design the permanent emergency power supply generator and prepare plans and specifications for said improvements necessary to accommodate the permanent generator, apply for permits, administer the bid process, and provide construction related services.

On June 28,20241 two (2) quotes were received, opened and tabulated, and the following quotes were found to comply with the approved plans and specifications and request for quotes.
