City of Orlando Wastewater department has identified four (4) can stations that were constructed in the 1960’s. These stations have reached their useful life and are in need of improvements. These stations need replacement of electrical, instrumentation and mechanical components that are old, outdated and have areas classified as confined spaces, causing maintenance difficulties, reliability issues,  and safety issues for City personnel. Such modifications will increase stations reliability, eliminate certain operational issues, eliminate confined space risks and reduce the hazards associated with the maintenance and operation of the facilities

 Tetra Tech, Inc. has a Continuing Professional Wastewater Related Engineering Services agreement with the City of Orlando which City Council authorized on December 3, 2012. The Wastewater Division needs to commission engineering services to include preliminary design, final design, permitting and construction phase services for these pumping station up-grades. The Public Works Department requested a proposal from Tetra Tech, Inc. to perform the aforementioned professional services. The City and Tetra Tech, Inc. have negotiated a not-to-exceed fee proposal of $259,106.32 for this project. Staff considers this fee proposal reasonable and appropriate for the scope of work to be performed.
