COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: Jason Hart, Capital Program Manager
SUBJECT:Title
Discussion and Action: Professional Services Agreement for the South Intake Influent Screen Project with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (Jason Hart)
Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
Wastewater Utility Fund
PURPOSE:
To consider an agreement (500591) for professional services (design) for the South Intake Influent Screen Project in accordance with City Code Section 3.10.010.2 (Technical Registrant) and 3.10.030.1.
BACKGROUND:
Lake Havasu City operates three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and discharges treated water through a combination of methods including vadose injection wells, percolation ponds, and direct reuse recipients such as golf courses. An additional discharge method is needed to address uncertainty in the viability of these discharge methods to absorb current and anticipated future discharge volumes.
This project will address necessary permit revisions for recent and planned changes to WWTP operation and to add an option of discharge to surface water through the existing South Intake, which currently is used when needed to supplement the reclaimed water supply.
Staff negotiated a fee of $253,536 with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., for Professional Services.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
This project will enhance the City’s ability to discharge treated water by adding an additional discharge option. This added option will allow for a more balanced allocation throughout the City’s wastewater system so no one option is overloaded making the overall process more efficient.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $253,536 are allocated and available in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Plan utilizing Wastewater Utility Funds for the South Intake Influent Screen Project.
