Title:
Resolution regarding Backup Power Generation for the Linnwood Purification Plant.

 
Analysis:
This resolution authorizes and directs the Commissioner of Public Works to award a contract for professional services for Backup Power Generation for the Linnwood Purification Plant to Black & Veatch Corporation.  The executed contract will include the professional services of design, preparation of plans and specifications and construction management during the construction and installation associated with generators at the site. 

Body:
Whereas, The Common Council, through the approval of the 2008 Water Works Capital Improvement Budget, provided funding for Backup Power Generation at the Linnwood Purification Plant  which includes the  services of design, preparation of plans and specifications and construction management during the construction for and installation of generators as well as procurement and installation of generators for the Linnwood Purification Plant; and

Whereas, It is impractical to develop precise bidding specification for these services; and

Whereas, Resolution File No. 041281 authorized the Commissioner of Public Works to issue a Request for Proposals and award a contract for professional services for the electric power reliability study for the Milwaukee Water Works; and

Whereas, After a competitive selection process, Black & Veatch Corporation was selected to perform the electric power reliability study for the Milwaukee Water Works ; and

Whereas, Black & Veatch Corporation successfully completed the contract work that resulted in the conceptual approach accepted by the Milwaukee Water Works; and

Whereas, Resolution File No. 071421 authorized awarding a contract to the firm of Black & Veatch Corporation for professional services associated with providing backup power for the Riverside Pumping Station; and

Whereas, Black & Veatch Corporation has substantially completed the professional services associated with the Riverside Pumping Station Backup Power Generation Project; and

Whereas, Continuing with the firm of Black & Veatch Corporation allows Milwaukee Water Works to realize both cost and schedule efficiencies due in a large part to Black & Veatch Corporation’s association with and response to City requirements and requirements of a Homeland Security designated infrastructure and their expertise in this area; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized and directed to award a Contract for Professional Services associated with providing Backup Power Generation for the Linnwood Purification Plant in an amount not to exceed $450,000; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the cost of the contract work be charged to the appropriate Water Works account.
