INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION OF UTILITIES TO: Members of the Board of Public Works Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works Michael Schmidt, Board of Public Works Attorney FROM: Al Greek, Director of Utilities Jacob M. Klosinski, Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: Agenda Request Form — Professional Services Agreement Project no. 117-027 Farmington 14A Lift Station Rehabilitation DATE: March 20, 2017 The Division of Utilities is requesting the Board of Public Works' approval of a Professional Services Agreement with DLZ Indiana, LLC to provide survey, geotechnical engineering, design engineering, bidding, and right-of-way services for Project No. 117-027 Farmington 14A Lift Station Rehabilitation. Background As part of the City of South Bend Division of Utilities lift station rehabilitation and replacement schedule, the Farmington 14A Lift Station is scheduled for rehabilitation this year. The Farmington 14A Lift Station is a Smith and Loveless vacuum assist style sanitary lift station with a doghouse cover. This lift station receives mostly residential flow and it is located at the intersection of Woodhurst Drive and Old Valley Loop. The lift station has a 96-inch diameter wet well and contains two (2) five horsepower pumps that are each rated at 120 GPM. High levels of corrosion were identified at this lift station, and the station does not have a flow meter or bypass pumping capabilities at this time. This rehabilitation effort will not include a new wet well, bypass pumping, or flow meter. Rather, the existing station will be reconfigured to accommodate two (2) submersible pumps to match other lift stations configurations in the collection system. Communication for this lift station will be via radio, and the telemetry for the lift station will be standardized to the most recent electrical and controls cabinetry that the City of South Bend has installed in recent years. Permanent right-of-way or temporary right-of-way may be acquired for this project to accommodate temporary bypass pumping equipment or for excavation and construction. The lift station is located on a very small site within the public right-of-way. Vegetation, trees and landscaping are in close vicinity to the existing lift station which will be impacted by excavation and rehabilitation efforts. The Professional Services Agreement, attached, includes a not to exceed price of $87,040.00. Itemized task lists are provided in the agreement. The funding source for the project is Wastewater, Engineering Account (641-0630-793-31-02). If there are any questions regarding the subject project, please contact Al Greek (Ext. 4210) or Jacob M. Klosinski (Ext. 9496) at the Division of Utilities.
