Mayor and Council are asked to consider authorizing and executing a Contract for Professional Services with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide engineering design for W.O. 12-44, Water Treatment Plant High Service Pump Station H2-3 Replacement. The existing H2-3 pump is one of the main distribution pumps at the Water Treatment Plant. The purpose of this project is to replace the aging pump and equipment that is not efficient and may become unreliable. This project will replace the existing H2-3 pump with a pump capacity and operating pressure range that will be greater than the existing pump to better match current and future winter demand flows.  The pump will include a new motor and a low voltage variable frequency drive.  HDR Engineering, Inc., was selected for this work based on City staff review of project proposals submitted by prequalified firms.

The Council may:

• Approve the Contract for Professional Services with HDR Engineering, Inc.; or
• Do not approve the Contract for Professional Services with HDR Engineering, Inc

Funding for this project is from Water Revenues and is included in the FY13 budget.

Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to sign a contract for professional services with HDR Engineering, Inc., for W.O. 12-44, Water Treatment Plant High Service Pump Station H2-3 Pump Replacement in the amount not to exceed $72,900.00.
