RE: Agreement for Engineering Services for Wastewater Treatment Plant Centrifuge Upgrade
CH2M HILL ($128,300)
BACKGROUND
The Wastewater Treatment Plant has two centrifuges that were installed in 1996 for the purpose of
dewatering treated biosolids. The dewatered biosolids are applied to agricultural fields as a fertilizer in
accordance with the requirements and approval of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. This
project includes the rebuilding of the centrifuges by the original equipment manufacturer and the
replacement of the drives and controls. These drives and controls have become outdated, which has
created a difficulty in obtaining parts and service. This agreement includes project management services,
bid document preparation, system control integration, and construction-related services.
ANALYSIS
CH2M Hill recently completed a study that included evaluation of the Wastewater Treatment Plant control
systems for recommended upgrades. The knowledge that they developed during the controls system
study will assist them in providing effective and efficient use of resources in the completion of this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
This agreement is for $128,300. Funds are available in the Equipment Replacement Section, Centrifuge
Upgrade (Wastewater Utility Funds) of the 2011 Capital Improvement Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature, including engineering services, may be procured without the use of formal sealed
quotes. I have reviewed the CH2M HILL proposal and in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am
hereby recommending that the Common Council approve the award of this engineering services
agreement.
