subject to additions and deductions, as provided in the Specifications,
and to make payment on account thereof as provided below.

incurred by City of Fayetteville in completing this contract, less the
total amount provided for hereunder to be paid Contractor upon the

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
Mayor and City Council
Thru: Hugh Earnest, Chief Administrative Officer
From: Greg Boettcher, Water/Wastewater Director
Date: September 24, 2003
Subject: Resolution approving a contract with Multi -Craft Contracting for
emergency repairs to the effluent filtering system at Noland Wastewater Plant.
RECOMMENDATION
Fayetteville City Administration recommends approval of an authorization totaling
S100,000.00, said amount including a contract with Multi -Craft Contracting, Inc. of
Springdale, Arkansas in the amount of 595,000.00 plus a contingency in the amount of
S5,000.00.
BACKGROUND
The Noland wastewater Treatment Plant includes ten effluent filter cells providing the
final polishing of wastewater before release to the receiving streams. These units were
constructed in 1988 and have been in constant service since said date. In recent months,
the plant operations have experienced failures in the filter media support systems, causing
loss of filter performance and media. At first this was demed an isolated incident;
however, to date three of the units have failed, the most recent replacement unit rebuild
being completed this month. It is evident that the remaining seven filter units are in a
similar condition and may be expected to experience similar failures in the very near
terns. The filtering process is an essential component of the wastewater plant, as filtration
is necessary to meet the effluent limits set forth in the city's current NPDES discharge
permit. The recognition of this potential threat to treatment plant compliance is an
esculated concern due to the nearing rainy season during which all filtering units must be
in service to process the high wet weather flows. Due to the imminent threat to
operations, the possibility of effluent limit violation and the escalating patterns of failure;
rehabilitation of the remaining filter cells is a very high priority need of the Fayetteville
Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
DISCUSSION
fhe rehabilitation of the existing three filter cells have been accomplished by OMI using
plant labor, operation/maintenance budgets and completion of repairs as fill-in work. This
prior work has invovled one -at -a time failures over multple months, rendering time less
1
•
City Council Meegg of October 7, 2003
Agenda Item Number
of a consideration. The collective rehabilitation of the remaining seven filter cells is a
major undertaking outside the scope of OMI's agreement and beyond their current
resouces. This activity is classified as an emergency capital improvement project, for
which an outside contractor must be retained. As a measure of probable costs, OMI did
dcvlcop an estimate of cost for rehabilitation of the remaining sewen filter cells, said
estimate being S90,993.93. A set of contact specifications for the work, materials,
schedules and constraints was developed reflecting OMI's accumulated experience with
three units and knowledge of plant operations. These specifications were created to
enable the subsequent solicitation of proposals.
Under State of Arkansas Procurement Law, Section 19-11-203, the maintenance of
technical equipment (such as wastewater treatment plant effluent filters) is exempted
from competitive bidding. Furthermore, due to the specialized nature of the work, the
interaction/coordination with delicate wastewater plant operations and the emergency
nature of this need, the waiver of competitive bidding requirements is deemed to also
meet the City of Fayeteville's criteria for waiver of bidding. Accordingly, OMI has
contacted Multi -Craft Contracting, Inc. to provide a proposal for the engineering filter
rehabilitation and has negotiated a lump sum price of 595,000.00 for completion of the
filter rehabilitation in accordance with the specifications. Considering the fact that the
negotiated contract price transfers some risk to the contractor and the bid price includes
100% performance and payment bonds, it is deemed a reasonable and competitive
proposal. The total completion time is predicted at 70 days, subject to plant flows and
operator directions.
BUDGET IMPACT
This $100,000.00 expenditure for effluent filter system rehabilitation was not forseen or
included in the Fiscal Year 2003 Budget. Due to the Wastewater Treatment Department's
favorable financial outcomes on current year capital budget projects plus the ability to
defer other planned capital purchases, the funds to complete the emergency filter
rehabilitation work can be secured without a Budget Adjustment. The rehabilitation of
the remaining sewen filter cells is deemed the highest priority need for the current year
capital acitivities.
