RE: P. R. No. 21932 —Bar Screen No. 1 at the Main Wastewater Treatment Plant
Nature of the Request:
The Main Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has two bar screens that are currently
nonoperational due to mechanical failures. Currently, when the screens get clogged, wastewater
bypasses the treatment process. When this happens, bacteria and untreated wastewater go into
the environment and could endanger the waterways. This is an Emergency Repair Request for
Performance Services of Orange, Texas to repair one of the bar screens in order to be able to
remove large objects, such as rags and plastics, from the WWTP to stay in compliance with our
TCEQ Permit and treatment bypass. Estimated budgetary impact is estimated to be $75,000.00.
Budget Considerations:
Estimated budgetary impact is estimated to be $75,000.00. Funds are available in Account No.
410-40-225-5318-00-00-000, Equipment Maintenance.
Recommendation:
I recommend City Council approve Proposed Resolution No. 21932, authorizing emergency
repairs to Bar Screen No. 1 at the Main Wastewater Treatment Plant by Performance Services of
Orange, Texas in the estimated amount of$75,000.00.
