REQUEST:
The Utility Department requesting approval for Pat's Professional Cleaning of Apopka to
perform repairs at the East Water Reclamation Facility in the amount of $107,923 plus a
20% contingency.
SYNOPSIS:
This project consists of performing repairs to wastewater treatment plant at the East Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF) on Winter Springs Boulevard which includes taking the plant
out of service, removing accumulated debris, structural repairs to support ring and walls,
weir replacement, safety repairs, air diffuser replacement, and additional influent trough
repairs.
CONSIDERATIONS:
This project is needed to rehabilitate the wastewater plants at the East WRF. The two
steel treatment plants were built in 1972 and 1989 in a ring steel configuration which
provides aeration, clarification, and digestion of the wastewater. The highly corrosive
environment has deteriorated much of the steel structure requiring periodic welding to
reinforce the structure as needed. In addition, recent FDEP inspections performed in
conjunction with our operating permit renewal mandated some of these repairs be
completed in 2017.

Pat's Professional Cleaning just recently began performing this type of work and has
completed several smaller jobs for us as a trial. The Commission previously approved a
portion of these repairs on October 24, 2016 by the Huntington Group at a cost of $68,953
but they were unable to provide the necessary paperwork and have subsequently relocated
their business. Other vendors were contacted and declined interest in this specialized scope
of work. Staff continues to use all available resources to find other vendors to perform this
type of work.
Pat's proposal for this scope of work is $107,923.22. A 20% contingency is requested due
to the likelihood that additional problems will be identified for repair when the plant is

removed from service. No disruption of wastewater service to the customer is anticipated
during this project which should be completed 30 days after commencement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project cost is $107,923.22 plus a 20% contingency funded by the Utility Enterprise
Fund Capital Improvements line code. $280K was budgeted for wastewater plant
refurbishment in FY17.
