Title
Joint resolution authorizing execution of an agreement for Professional Engineering Services with Rezek, Henry, Meisenheimer and Gende, Inc. for design of the Northeast Central Pump Station Upgrade Project.
Staff Summary
· The Northeast Central (NEC) Pump Station serves parts of unincorporated Avon and Warren Townships, as well as portions of the Villages of Grayslake, Hainesville, Gurnee and Third Lake.
· Projected increases to population served by the pump station were evaluated in 2003, and it was determined that an addition of a second parallel 24-inch force main would provide the required increase in station capacity to 24.60 MGD. This project is expected to be awarded later this year.
· In 2009 more recent growth projections and more importantly measured peak wet weather flows have indicated that the pump station capacity must be increased to 28 MGD which will require modification or replacement of the existing pumps and upgrade/replacement of the electrical and controls at the pump station.
· Based on staff evaluations, Rezek, Henry, Meisenheimer and Gende, Inc. of Libertyville, IL, is the most qualified engineering firm with a prior satisfactory working relationship with the County. A scope of services was negotiated for this project.
· Committee authorization is requested to execute an agreement for Professional Engineering Services with RHM & G, Inc. in the amount of $68,280 for the design and drawing preparation of the Northeast Central Pump Station Upgrade Project charging the cost thereof to Account No. 610-4822698-71170-48310.
