(City Project No. 103323) and decreasing appropriations in the Unspecified project(City Project No. UNSPEC) by the same amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility(VCWRF)has a critical and complex electrical system.On September 24, 2013, Mayor and Council
Communication(M&C)C-26477,the City Council awarded the execution of an engineering agreement to conduct a power study,which included
an electrical equipment evaluation,short circuit study,protective device coordination study,arc flash analysis,and field labeling of arc flash
hazards.That study also identified several areas of the plant needing investment to rehabilitate and/or replace aging electrical infrastructure.These
improvements have been designed and implemented in a number of phases.The VCWRF Primary Area Switchgear Improvements(Phase I
Electrical Improvements)were completed in December 2020.The VCWRF Phase II Electrical and Switchgear Improvements Project is currently in
construction.This Phase III is a continuation of electrical upgrades needed at VCWRF and will include electrical,controls, and switchgear
improvements in the following areas: Return Sludge Pump Stations 3,5, and 8(RS3, RS5, and RS8); Final Effluent Pump Station 1 &3(FE1 and
FE3)areas; Backwash Area;and Sulphur Dioxide(SO2)area.
Gupta and Associates, Inc., proposes to perform the necessary work for a fee not to exceed$1,198,900.00. In addition to the contract amount,
$176,750.00 is required for project management and material testing.
This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water and Sewer Fund.Available cash within the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the callable Commercial Paper Program(CP)will be used
to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated with this project is sold,bond proceeds will be used to
reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached reimbursement resolution.Under federal law,
debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable.Adoption of the attached resolution does not
obligate the City to sell bonds but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
Funding for the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Phase III Electrical Improvements project,are as depicted below:
