Ratification of Amendment No. 3 to Agreement for Professional Consultant Services with HDR Engineering, Inc. for on-call professional services at the Verdigris Water Treatment Plant
end
Background:
HDR Engineering Inc. provided design and construction support services for the Verdigris Water Treatment Plant. The plant was tested, commissioned and brought on line on April 10th, 2014. Since the start up, plant staff has contacted with HDR Engineering on as needed basis to discuss and seek assistance to resolve treatment issues centered around the plant’s operation and performance. It is common to seek additional treatment services from outside agencies, specifically the design engineering firm, when bringing on-line new treatment facility with emerging technologies like microfiltration membrane units.
After running the daily operation for nearly 4 complete years, Staff has learned a substantial amount about the emerging treatment technologies and processes, but from time to time still relies upon experts to review and analyze specific situations and circumstances that occur with running the plant. Funding is available in the operational budget of the Water Treatment Plant.
Cost: $50,000
