Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize payment for Professional Services to LNV, Inc., in the amount of $72,000.00 for plans and specifications for the new Ultra Violet (UV) System to be installed at the Rio Bravo Water Treatment Plant, including coordination with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (T.C.E.Q.), UV System Design, Contact Time (CT) Study and monitoring plan modifications required, Standard Operating Procedures and Construction Management Services during the installation. [Account #745-3001-8801-7]

Issue: T.C.E.Q. long-term Enhanced Rule and Settlement Agreement agreed upon by Citizens Committees in Rio Bravo and El Cenizo, required Webb County to acquire and install a UV System to meet the new standards. This equipment will be used for UV disinfection and the manner of installation requires formal engineering for T.C.E.Q., approval as well as operation of the system procedures and new CT Study after installation.

Solution: LNV, Inc., has been providing initial plans and specifications for pricing considerations and continuing of their services is recommended to advance this critical project to it's completion.

Result: Payment for these services are to be acquired from Capital Outlay Funding since it was not budgeted under operational funding.

Background:

Due to possible lead time delays this project was deemed an emergency necessary for health concerns and the order was completed. Additional cost as approved by commissioner court are to follow for the construction and installation of the units as well as the maintenance agreement.
