Title: Southeast Water Reclamation Plant Grit Removal Facilities Improvement Project (District 6) This project will upgrade the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant (SEWRP) to address operational issues with grit removal, and improve the functionality and efficiency of plant operations. Currently, the plant receives four to five million gallons of wastewater per day, with an average operational capacity of eight million gallons per day. Five to seven tons of grit are removed from the wastewater on a weekly basis. The existing grit removal operation is very labor-intensive and, due to its inefficiency in removing grit, it causes excessive wear on the Primary Effluent Pumps. This results in additional maintenance, time, and cost. Staff recommends that Council award a contract for this project to the lowest responsible bidder, Archer Western Construction LLC, in the amount of $3,140,500, and authorize a change order allowance in the amount of $314,050.
