Meeting Date:	08/26/2019
Contract Award for Lift Station #4 and #7
Submitted for:	Adrian Montemayor	Submitted By:	Adrian Montemayor
Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to award Southern Trenchless Solutions LLC a contract in the sum of $675,790.00 under the BuyBoard 555-18 contract for the rehabilitation and pump replacement of Lift Stations numbers #4 and Plant Main, and in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code (Cooperative Purchasing Program Participation). [Funding is available and identified in the approved Capital Improvements Program under the 2016 Bond, 7220-7270-001-474501 (Construction in Progress)]

Issue: Lift Stations are assets within the wastewater collection system that routes all waste to the Plant for final treatment. Along the way pumping stations are used to collect and re-pump the wastewater. The stations within the Rio Bravo and El Cenizo require some rehabilitation both structural and replacement of the pumps.

Solution: We have identified a contractor with a contract with the BuyBoard that has the experience and capability to rehab these stations effectively without the preliminary report and engineering design normally completed thus saving funds allocated for direct rehab.

Result: Approve contract and commence with first of five rehabilitation projects.

Background:

The Webb County Utilities wastewater collection system consists of six (6) stations within both communities that provide the continued routing of wastewater to the treatment plant for final treatment. These provide for the safe delivery of wastewater with limited backup to the streets. These stations have not been provided rehabilitation other than general repair since the installation of the stations.
