Status: Amendment/Change Order
MOTION
Upon recommendation of Navid Mehram, Chief Operating Officer - Wastewater Operating Services, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), authorizes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to enter into Contract No. 2203437/SCN-0000376, Proposed Amendment No. 2 “Service for All WRRF & CSO Facility Pumps” with Detroit Pump & Manufacturing, for an increased cost of $455,000.00 and Kennedy Industries, for an increased cost of $1,045,000.00 for a total cost not to exceed $3,700,000.00 and an increased duration of 730 days for a total duration of 1,825 days; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
GLWA utilizes both large and small pumps to lift water for conveyance and treatment of wastewater. The organization operates and maintains pumps for the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), nine (9) Combined Sewer Overflow Facilities (CSO) and nine (9) Sewer Pumping Stations (SPS). The pumps used in our system vary in size, capacity and functionality. Included are pumps used for combined storm systems, daily sanitary flow, dewatering of tanks, sludge moving, flushing water, chemicals, etc. The wastewater that these pumps convey contains abrasive materials like rocks, gravel, and many other solids, all of which increase the frequency of wear and damage to our pumping equipment.
JUSTIFICATION
Wastewater Operating Services (WOS) consists of the WRRF, nine (9) CSO and nine (9) SPS. This service contract provides continuous pump maintenance and repair services for the WOS. Wastewater pumps for GLWA operate under demanding conditions due to the nature of pumping combined wastewater, which often carries elevated levels of gravel and solids. This abrasive material enters the facility and contributes to increased wear and tear on the equipment, making regular maintenance and repairs essential to ensure reliable operation. The funding for this contract has been exhausted as the team took advantage of the drier than average season, to complete some proactive focused preventative and corrective work. While also experiencing several unanticipated pump failures.
Additionally, the transition of the combined sanitary pump stations from the Field Services Team to the Conveyance Team increased the number of assets covered by this contract. As a result, equipment at the SPS was added to the list of assets requiring evaluation. This contract assists with repairs, troubleshooting, rebuilding, and training where applicable.
