RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend approval of amendment.
BACKGROUND:
Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 has three gas blowers that are responsible for boosting digester gas pressure to 10 psi prior to conveyance to the gas treatment facilities. The proper operation of the booster blowers ensures that gas from digesters is col lected, treated, and used by the internal combustion cogenerations engines or properly disposed of via the flare.
On January 25, 2023, City entered into Agreement No. 2023-024 with AECOM Technical Services (AECOM) to provide design and engineering services for the Booster Blower Upgrade project. AECOM was selected from City’s On-Call Library of Professional Firms and approved by staff after their proposal was found to be acceptable.
Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2023 -024 was approved on February 28, 2 024, adding $19,000 in compensation to cover expanded scope, including design details for replacing pressure relief valves, sediment traps, flame arrestors, and back -pressure relief valves for digesters 3 through 6, along with additional bidding and construction phase support.
Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2023-024 was approved on May 28, 2025, extending the term by 18 months and adding $20,000 in compensation to address a higher -than-expected volume of requests for information submissions that exceeded the available project budget.
The proposed Amendment No. 3 would add $47,300 to cover additional change orders and the City's request for record drawings based on field markups, bringing total compensation to $238,300 and extending the term through August 31, 2027.
