body
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Andrew Neff, UCW, Water & Wastewater Division Director, 704-296-4215
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the County Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Kemp Construction, Inc. to purchase Clarifier Corrective Maintenance repairs to clarifier 301 at the Crooked Creek WRF, substantially consistent with this agenda item.
BACKGROUND:
Union County Water (“UCW”) operates and maintains various wastewater treatment processing equipment at Crooked Creek WRF. The clarifiers separate the effluent to be discharged into the receiving stream from the more dense material that is sent to the digesters for land application. Clarifier 301 is one of four clarifiers at the site. This clarifier requires replacement of the gear reducer, main drive and sweep arms in order to continue functioning as designed. A malfunction of this unit will result in reduced capacity at the WRF with potential regulatory impact.
UCW issued IFB 2022-020 with an opening date of October 5, 2021 for qualified vendors to supply the material and labor to affect the needed repairs. Two (2) bids were received with Kemp Construction, Inc. selected to perform the work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The requested amount of $57,992.00 is available in the adopted FY22 Water & Wastewater Division budget.
