MEMORANDUM
September 18, 2007
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Public Works Director
Subject: Award construction bid to WHF Electrical Contractors for $55,500.00
for electrical modifications to Shady Lane and Lonesome Dove lift
stations to provide for the use of a backup power generator.
Action
Requested: Award construction bid to WHF Electrical Contractors for $55,500.00 for
electrical modifications to Shady Lane and Lonesome Dove lift stations to
provide for the use of a backup power generator.
Background
Information: In order to provide sanitary sewer service throughout the City of
Southlake it is necessary to pump a considerable amount of the wastewater
to overcome differences in ground elevations. We operate twelve (12)
sewer lift stations as a part of the routine delivery of wastewater service in
the city. In order to provide uninterrupted sewer service during power
outages, we are able to maintain operation of all but two of these lift
stations with the use of portable back -up pumps. Due to the size of the
two remaining lift stations, the only reasonable means of operation during
a power failure is with the use of a backup generator. On May 1, 2007
council awarded a bid to purchase a trailer mounted generator which will
be delivered before the end of the year. In order to use the backup power
source it is necessary to modify the electrical components at the two lift
stations in question.
Two bids were received on August 28, 2007 for the necessary
modifications of the two lift stations. The bids have been reviewed by
City's engineering consultant and their recommendation is attached.
It is recommended that the City Council award the bid for these
modifications to WHF Electrical Contractors for the lump sum price of
$55,500.00.
Financial
Considerations: Funding for these electrical modifications has been carried forward from
the FY -07 to the FY -08 operating budget for Wastewater Utilities for the
purpose of completing this project.
Citizen Input/
