AGENDA REVIEW SESSION OCTOBER 19, 2017 312 Mr. Sherman stated the original intent was for Water Works to install this meter pit at Leeper Park, but Water Works informed them they don't have the time to do this, so they are soliciting quotes. - Professional Services Agreement — Infinisource, Inc. Ms. Kyra Clark, Human Resources, stated this agreement is for a different provider for employee flex accounts. She noted the City had concerns with the current vendor, and Infinisource came in with a competitive bid. Mr. Gilot questioned if they have to close out the other agreement first. Ms. Clark stated it will stay open until March of next year to allow employees to make their claims from this year. Ms. Fanello noted there usually is a notice clause. Substantial Completion Affidavit — Wastewater Treatment Plant Secondary Treatment Improvements Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Wastewater, stated this substantial completion is for the west side work. He noted they had one pump that needed to be installed, and it was done in September, so this allows for partial release of their retainage. Mr. Gilot asked him to expand on the savings the improvements have created. Mr. Klosinski noted at Final Clarifiers 6 and 7, the City eliminated five (5) 100 horsepower return activated sludge pumps and replaced them with four (4) 60 horsepower submersible pumps, resulting in substantial energy and cost savings. In addition, variable frequency drives were replaced with more efficient units, and LED lighting was installed at the Gallery No. 4 building that houses the controls equipment for Final Clarifiers 6 and 7. He added the City has been able to lower its return rates for the return activated sludge pumps which has resulted in higher concentrations of the return activated sludge that is re- introduced into the aeration basins. Mr. Klosinski noted this is a major process improvement and the end result has been an improvement in Wastewater Treatment Plant's biological treatment capacity and a more efficient treatment process. Once the project is complete, he added, the City will be able to implement a more effective energy strategy for taking final clarifiers in and out of service to accommodate influent flow conditions. Mr. Klosinski noted this is a win -win project for improvements to the treatment process and energy savings. Ms. Dorau informed him that most of Wastewater's projects are eligible for energy payback checks. - Reject Quotations — Lafayette Building Roof Mr. Corbitt Kerr, Community Investment, stated when a walk-through was done, the contractors felt this needs a full roof, not a repair. Mr. Mueller noted Code Enforcement determined it to be unsafe. Ms. Fanello questioned if it's being done under Code law, and had gone through all their procedures and documented. Mr. Mueller stated it has and the owner has not fixed it after being cited. He added the City has put up concrete blockades due to pieces falling off the building, it's a hazard. Mr. Michael Schmidt, Purchasing, suggested to add to the agenda to declare the property an emergency procurement. Ms. Fanello requested Code provide documentation of what they have also. No other business came before the Board. Mr. Gilot declared the meeting adjourned at 11:40 a.m. BOARD OF PUBLIC WVO Gary A.; Gilot, President A. Maradik, Member Therese J. Dorau, AemNer James .
