Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize a professional services agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc. to perform engineering design, bid and award, and construction phase services associated with the Dallas Salmon WWTP Improvements including Aeration Basins Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Launders, Belt Press Wash Water Booster System, Clarifier Slide Gates at Splitter Box, and Main Breaker Replacement within ATS Project (WW2103C) in an amount not to exceed $395,700.
A systematic effort in evaluating and assessing our 40-year-old Dallas Salmon wastewater facility treatment and supporting components have been on-going for number of years. This effort has allowed the staff to identify critical, old or outdated components of the plant which could seriously impact the reliability of the plant which is a state-regulated facility. Corrosive environment, new technology, new regulations, need for redundancy and reliability, all have helped create an on-going program to reinvest into this plant to stay as a reliable treatment facility for the east of the City.
For this year, the City staff identified four (4) immediate need areas of the plant which must be programmed for fast-track final design and construction. They are: (1) Replacement of the FRP Distribution Launders at the Aeration Basins, (2) Replacement of the Belt Press Wash Water Booster System, (3) Replacement of Slide Gates at the Clarifier Distribution Splitter Box, and (4) Replacement of the Main Breaker within the ATS. These improvements are critical to maintain operational efficiency, reliability, and compliance with current standards.
Ardurra Group, Inc. has prepared a conceptual construction cost of $3.4 million for the above improvements which will be updated throughout the design and reflected in the FY2026-FY2030 Proposed CIP. For the current phase, consultant will provide condition assessment, preliminary and final designs, bid, and construction phase services, as summarized below:
Condition Assessment $ 50,400
Final Design Services $256,300
Bid & Award Phase $ 12,000
Construction Phase $ 69,000
Misc. Project Expense Budget $ 3,000
Additional Services Budget $ 5,000
TOTAL $395,700
