Title:
Authorize Professional Services for Design and Installation of Emergency Generator at Well House # 3
Purpose/Background:
PURPOSE
1. Consider authorizing work outlined in attached RFP for Design and Installation of an Emergency Generator at Well # 3 located at 7301 Bunker Lake Blvd.
BACKGROUND
2. Currently the City has a backup generator that operates well # 5, if there were to be an extended power outage. Well # 5 is capable of producing 850 gallons per minute (GPM). Our average consumption rate is 1120 GPM, so at present time our emergency back up well will not keep pace with our demand. The emergency generator for well # 3 is currently listed in our CIP as # 16-WTR-00, that project sheet is attached to this case. The estimated cost for the design, purchase and installation of the emergency generator $115,000. City staff requested RFP's from three of the engineering firms in our engineering consultant pool. Those firms were Bolton & Menk Inc., SEH Inc and WSB and Associates. The Request for Proposals was also posted in the Anoka Union the weeks of February 24th and March 3rd. The city received two proposals, one from SEH Inc and the other from, Bolton & Menk Inc. The SEH Inc. proposal came in at $15,000.00, and the Bolton and Menk Inc. proposal was $11,310.00.

Timeframe:
10-15 Minutes
Observations/Alternatives:
Well # 3 can produce 1600 GPM, so combined with well # 5 we would be able to produce 2450 GPM and keep pace with our daily demand over a long power outage. With well # 3 online we would be better prepared to provide two of our most basic services to our residents, drinking water and fire protection.
Funding Source:
Utilities Fund
Recommendation:
Staff recommendation is to enter into a contract with Bolton & Menk Inc. to provide design and construction management for the installation of an emergency backup natural gas generator for Well # 3 for a not to exceed amount of $11,310.00
Action:
Motion to accept staff recommendation to enter into a contract with Bolton & Menk Inc. to provide design and construction management for the installation of an emergency backup natural gas generator for Well # 3 for a not to exceed amount of $11,310.00 or reject staff recommendation and accept alternate recommendation based on committee discussion.
