COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 4/7/2015 - Ordinances 21713-04-2015 & 21714-04-2015
DATE: Tuesday, April 07, 2015 REFERENCE NO.: **C-27250
LOG NAME: 603MGD WESTSIDE WTP EXP - PALLCORP
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Contract with Pall Corporation in the Amount of$500,000.00 for Procurement of a
3 MGD Water Filtration Membrane for the Westside Water Treatment Plant Expansion and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinances (ADJACENT TO COUNCIL DISTRICT 3)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Project Fund (PW53) in the amount of$500,000.00 from Impact Fees;
2. Authorize the transfer in the amount of$500,000.00 from the Water Capital Project Fund (PW53) to the
Water Capital Project Fund (P264);
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Capital Project Fund (P264) in the amount of$500,000.00 from available funds; and
4. Authorize execution of a contract in the amount of$500,000.00 with Pall Corporation for procurement
of a 3 MGD water filtration membrane for the Westside Water Treatment Plant Expansion.
DISCUSSION:
The Westside Water Treatment Plant went into operation in April 2012 with an initial capacity of 12 million
gallons per day (MGD). The original project scope called for 15 MGD, but due to lower than anticipated
customer demands and budgetary constraints, only 12 MGD capacity was installed. Now, with growth and
development in west Fort Worth increasing, the Water Department desires to bring the plant's capacity up
to the originally planned 15 MGD with the addition of this fifth filtration membrane rack and modules. Pall
Corporation, the originally sourced filtration membrane provider, will provide the new 3 MGD filtration
membrane, perform startup testing, commissioning, and Staff training. The membrane equipment and
associated piping will be installed by Staff. The existing plant footprint is designed to be expanded up to
an ultimate capacity of 35 MGD.
Pall Corporation is the only Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) certified company which
can provide the filtration membrane for this upgrade. The Westside Plant was designed and permitted
utilizing Pall Corporation membrane equipment, sizing, operating protocols, programming, and TCEQ
approval, as described below.
In order to utilize membrane filtration in the drinking water treatment process in Texas, membranes must
be pilot tested using an approved protocol on the specific raw water to be utilized by the drinking water
treatment plant, with results submitted to the TCEQ for approval. On May 16, 2006 (M&C C-21456), the
Logname: 603MGD WESTSIDE WTP EXP -PALLCORP Pagel of 3
City Council authorized the Water Department to join the cities of Mansfield, Waxahachie and Midlothian
in participating in membrane piloting and testing raw water originating from Richland Chambers and Cedar
Creek reservoirs. On March 20, 2007 (M&C C-22017), the City Council authorized a Westside Treatment
Plant process evaluation, which included further membrane pilot testing of Lake Benbrook raw water. Pilot
testing results from these two studies were submitted to the TCEQ for review and approval. Three
membrane vendors participated in these pilot studies and were approved, although with differing types of
systems: two with submerged types and one using a pressure-type system. Based on competitive bids
from the three vendors the City selected the pressure-type system manufactured by Pall Corporation,
which was also the lowest priced bidder. On March 25, 2008 (M&C C-22728), the City Council approved
an Engineering Agreement with Pall Corporation for the preparation of membrane filtration system shop
drawings required to complete the design of the Westside Water Treatment Plant. These drawings
provided for an ultimate capacity of 35 MGD and were incorporated into the overall Westside Water
Treatment Plant design by the City's design engineer, Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc.
On June 23, 2009, (M&C C-23623) the City Council awarded the contract in the amount of
$47,044,014.00 inclusive of the cost for the 12 MGD membrane filtration system, to McCarthy Building
Companies, Inc. Procurement of the first 12 MGD of the filtration system was from Pall Corporation by
McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., pursuant to the previously submitted bid from Pall Corporation.
