2 . NEWPAPER ARTICLE -ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS.
The Board received a November 11 , 2002 Rocky Mountain News Article titled , "A war
about water." This is an information-only item discussing a water rights dispute on the S.
Platte River over administering underground irrigation water in northeastern Colorado .
4. CAROLLO ENGINEERS -AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
The Board received a copy of the Agreement for Professional Services and a Task Order
from Carollo Engineers for engineering services for aqua ammonia storage at the Allen
Treatment Plant and powered activated carbon storage and feed at the Union A venue
Pump Station .
The Utilities Department received three design proposals and selected the Carollo
proposal which utilizes the existing water treatment plant for the ammonia storage rather
than constructing a new building. The proposed design will allow construction of a
permanent feed system and storage area for the powdered activated carbon. Powdered
activated carbon is used when certain river conditions are severe, causing taste and odor
problems.
The Professional Services Agreement describes the Approach for Improvements, Scope
of Services, time of performance and payment and administration of the projects.
Carollo's fee is $127,000.
It was noted that time is of the essence in order to have the system operational before
taste and odor occurrences begin in the summer. The Board took an informal vote
supporting this approach and agreed that the Director of Utilities should sign the
engineering contract. When the project is 80% designed, selected contractors will be
requested to submit bids. At that time, the city council will be asked to award the
construction contract to the acceptable bidder.
5. SANITARY SEWER LINING IMPROVEMENTS.
The Utilities' Distribution and Collections crew discovered two sanitary sewer lines that
needed repair during flushing. The lines were videotaped and it was determined that both
8" clay lines were in failure with extensive cracking. The first repair segment is located
in S. Zuni St. between W . Bates Ave. and W. Cornell Ave. for a distance of 271 feet. The
second segment is located between S. Washington St. and S. Clarkson St. north of US
285 for a distance of 326 feet.
Because of dangerous conditions and restricted access, the trenchless pipe rehabilitation
method is being used to minimize traffic disruption and impacts on residents. Bids were
received from two vendors, the lowest being from Insituform at $32,600.40.
The Board informally approved the Utilities Department issuing an Award of Bid and a
Notice to Proceed to Insituform.
The meeting adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
The next Water and Sewer Board meeting will be January 14, 2002 at 5:00 in the
Community Development Conference Room.
