Commission approval to enter into contract with ARKK Engineers for the design services for the Improvements at Sanitary Lift Station(s) 10 and 30 in the amount of $99,500.00.  For more information (See Exhibit A)

As part of the City’s lift station improvement program, the Utilities Department has identified a need to upgrade discharge piping at the two major lift stations that, combined, deliver 100% of the sanitary waste water pumped by all other sanitary lift stations city-wide to the wastewater treatment plant. The existing internal discharge steel piping to the wet well basins of Lift Station 10 and Lift Station 30 are deteriorating with evidence of heavy corrosion due to the corrosive nature of sanitary waste and are in need of replacement.  The new discharge piping to be installed will be 304 Stainless Steel.  The added benefit of this type of piping is its superior resistance to corrosion and greater longevity. 

The account to be utilized for this expenditure is 501706-55685.

It is the recommendation of the Utilities Department and Public Works Department that the Mayor and City Commission approve this contract with ARKK Engineering.
