PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request authorization for the execution of Amendment 9 for the design of the East Lift Stations Force Main Modifications with Conklin, Porter & Holmes Engineers, Inc. at a cost of $28,580.00. CONSIDERA TIONS: This Amendment is to provide engineering services for the rerouting of various lift station force mains in the East wastewater collection system. It is needed to reduce the repumping of wastewater and eliminate a surcharge condition in a gravity sewer main. The current system repumps wastewater up to four times which can create odor problems due to the long retention times. Repumping also reduces our emergency pumping capabilities during power outages. The scope of work includes surveying, engineering design, and permitting. The design includes the evaluation of the pumping capabilities of four lift stations, and the rerouting of the force mains from those stations to pump directly to the wastewater plant. The cost of the scope of work is $28,580.00 of which $12,500 is for a surveying subconsultant. The estimated construction cost is $150,000 which will be proposed in FY 1998/1999 Utility Capital Improvement budget. June 9, 1997 Consent Agenda Item C Page ...2 FUNDING: The cost for Amendment 9 is $28,580.00. The source of funds would be the capital improvements line code (56310) of the Utility Fund. This project was budgeted at $17,000 but additional funds are available due to the Tuskawilla Road water line not being built this year. Funds would be expended in 150 days. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that authorization be given for the execution of Amendment 9 for the East Lift Station design and analysis with Conklin, Porter & Holmes Engineers, Inc. at a cost of $28,580.00 payable from the Utility Fund capital improvements line code (56310). IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: The scope of services will be completed within 150 days of approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Amendment 9 COMMISSION ACTION: Attachment No. 1 AMENDMENT 9 TO AGREEMENT DATED OCTOBER 14, 1991 CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE EAST LIFT STATION ANALYSIS AND DESIGN BETWEEN THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS AND CONKLIN, PORTER & HOLMES - ENGINEERS, INC. This Amendment dated , 1997, by and between the City of Winter Springs (hereinafter called the OWNER) and Conklin, Porter & Holmes - Engineers, Inc. (hereinafter called the Engineer), is mutually agreed upon and declared an authorized Amendment to an Agreement dated October 14, 1991, between the parties, herein setting forth the scope, terms and conditions of the services herein authorized. The appropriate provisions of the October 14, 1991, Agreement apply as fully as if repeated herein. SECTION 1 GENERAL 1.1 The purpose of this Amendment is to provide for Engineering Services, more specifically itemized herein, in the preparation of an Analysis Report, Plans and Specifications for a combined lift station forcemain system comprised of L.S. 2E, 3E, 4E, 5E, lOE, and the forcemain from the school complex. SECTION 2 BASIC SERVICES OF THE ENGINEER 2.1 GENERAL 2.1.1 The ENGINEER agrees to perform professional services in connection with the project as hereinafter stated. 2.1.2 The ENGINEER will serve as the OWNER's professional engineering representative in those phases of the project to which this Amendment applies, and will give consultation and advise to the OWNER during the performance of his services. The ENGINEER will perform the services for the City Commission under the general supervision of the City Manager and Utilities Director and will submit interim plans to them for their review, input, decision, etc. as appropriate. 2.1.3 The OWNER hereby authorizes the ENGINEER to proceed with the analysis and preparation of plans and specifications for a forcemain system more fully described herein. SECTION 3 SCOPE OF SERVICES 3.1 PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING The proposed routing involves the following: A. It is the intent to decrease the amount of flow going to the gravity system on Northern Way and have L.S. 2E, L.S. 3E, L.S. 4E and L.S. lOE pump directly to the Water Reclamation Facility. B. Reroute a new forcemain from L.S. lOE to the forcemain from L.S. 5E which goes directly to the WRF. C. Interconnect the forcemain system from the school, L.S. 4E and L.S. 3E into the new L.S. lOE forcemain. D. Connect the existing forcemain from L. S. 2E into the new force main from L.S. lOE at the intersection of the two power easements. E. The proposed route covers approximately 10,000 lineal feet. 3.1.1 Prepare an analysis of the forcemain system to determine the feasibility of the proposed routing. Evaluate several alternatives and determine the effect on the system, Le., are pump station upgrades necessary and other information. Estimate the amount of flow generated by the pump station service area and determine if the new pumping point is adequate for the service area. 3.1.2 Evaluate the route and determine if any easements exist for any portion of the proposed route. 3.1.3 Prepare a report with the recommended alternative and preliminary opinion of probable construction cost. 3.2 ENGINEERING SERVICES - DATA COLLECTION , ANALYSIS AND DESIGN 3.2.1 Survey services will be provided by a licensed surveyor. The surveyor will perform a survey of the power line easement corridor along the recommended route from the preliminary study. 3.2.2 This proposal assumes that no major modifications will be required to the existing pumps in any of the lift stations. Therefore, we have not included any electrical engineering services. 3.2.3 Since the proposed route is along established power line rights-of-way and appears to be fairly accessible, we have not included any soils analysis. 3.2.4 Prepare plans for the new forcemain system. Scale to be I" = 30' and will be prepared using double plan sheets. Since the work will be performed in a power easement and is a forcemain, we propose the use of only the plan view with details of crossings as required. This recommendation is made in an effort to decrease costs to the CITY. 3.2.5 Prepare a Specification using the short form documents for review by OWNER. 3.2.6 Perform field checks of completed Plans and Specifications with the OWNER's representative. 3.2.7 Prepare opinions of probable construction cost based upon final plans and Contract Documents. 3.2.8 Provide the OWNER with three sets of final plans and Contract Documents. 3.3 PERMITS 3.3.1 This project will require an FDEP Collection System Permit. We will assist the OWNER in the preparation of this permit. 3.3.2 No permits are anticipated for SJRWMD or other agencies.
