Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) KUMMARY; Staff has reviewed the bids, specifications and estimated in- stallation costs for the remodeling of water filtration plant #2 • and plant #3 . The quoted cost of the filter equipment is $437,680 , the estimated cost of the backwash reclaim tanks and installation of the equipment is $288 , 320. Building renovation costs are estimated to be $164,700 . the total cost for the 2 plants is $890 ,700. The budgeted cost for remodeling the 2 treat- ment plants is $500,000. Therefore, the proposed remodeling would be over budget by $390,700. • At this time staff is reviewing the available funds for this project. There does not appear to be sufficient funds to complete the project as proposed. The options are to remodel the existing equipment to accommodate reclaiming backwash water, possibly automating some plant controls, and provide automation if possi- ble. In discussing the possibility of remodeling the existing equip- ment with SEH, the consulting engineer, staff became aware that Hudson, Wisconsin is modifying their existing equipment and apparently achieving reasonable filtration efficiencies. There- fore, staff is recommending that review of the Hudson filter plant be conducted prior to making •any decision regarding filter plant #2 and plant #3. • Ric inetor City Engineer/Director of Public Works 010 r,COMMENDATION; Start recommelAs rescheduling the award of the bid for filtration equipment to tIlle Novem,6er 23, 1992 Council meeting.
