Agenda Item
Resolution - Water Utilities:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Professional Services Agreement, Contract No. 17227, with HDR Engineering, Inc., for services related to groundwater monitoring and remediation at City-owned land application sites.
Item Summary
Since 1989, the City has monitored groundwater conditions and pumped groundwater from wells located at the Lubbock Land Application Site (LLAS), under the direction of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Currently, these activities, in addition to the groundwater monitoring of the Hancock Land Application Site (HLAS), are provisions of the City's Southeast Water Reclamation Plant (SEWRP) wastewater discharge permit. These activities are necessary to assess, monitor, and remediate groundwater contaminated with nitrates underlying these two sites.
This agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., will continue to provide the professional services necessary to comply with the TCEQ requirements outlined in the SEWRP's wastewater discharge permit. The scope of work includes preparing and updating groundwater models, predicting groundwater gradients and nitrate concentrations in future years, evaluating historic trends in groundwater conditions, evaluating the LLAS groundwater recovery system performance, and preparing annual reports for each land application site for submittal to the TCEQ.
Staff recommends award of this Professional Service Agreement to HDR Engineering based on their qualifications and reasonable pricing. This agreement is for a period of 5 years. The fees for the related services shall not exceed $890,000 for all years combined.
Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds have been allocated in the Water/Wastewater FY 2022-23 Operating Budget for this project.
