Subject: CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
To: Committee on Construction and Operations cc: all Board Members, Doyle, Mendenhall , Schneider, Ausdemore, Stanley and
all Vice Presidents
From: Ron K. Reisner, Senior Vice President, Chief Operations Officer
The following items will be on the November 7, 2018, Committee Agenda for consideration and the November 7, 2018, Board Agenda for approval:
SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
1. 100051001033 - $122,512 - Install 240 feet of 6-inch water main in 35th Street north of Dodge Street. This main is being installed in accordance with the District's Infill Main Policy to prevent additional private lines along 35th Street, reinforce the distribution system and improve fire flows in the area. Icon Properties Midtown, LLC has requested water service for 3412 Dodge Street and will pay $34,000 toward the infill main. The payment represents approximately 28% of the estimated cost of the main. The District has the potential to recover the remaining portion of the main cost of $88,512 through future connections to this main.
2. 100054000988 and 100068000968 - $520,000 - Install 5,370 feet of 8-inch and smaller gas mains and abandon 5,105 feet of 8-inch and smaller gas mains, 153rd to 158th Streets and Pepperwood Drive to Corby Street. This work is required to eliminate conflicts with proposed grading , paving and storm sewer work being done along 156th Street and Biondo Street for a City of Omaha project. This work is not reimbursable as the mains are in public right-of-way. Three gas services will be replaced at an estimated cost of $13,000. The associated water main expenditure was approved at the July Board Meeting.
3. 100053001381 and associated job numbers - $840,600 - Maple Street from 69th
to 76th Streets and 72nd Street from Maple to Wirt Streets - Install 3,850 feet of 2- and 4-inch gas mains and 1,120 feet of 6- and 8-inch water mains; abandon 3,000 feet of 3-inch and smaller gas mains and 1,160 feet of 6- and 8-inch water mains. This work is required to eliminate conflicts with proposed grading, paving and storm sewer work being done for City of Omaha projects. This work is not reimbursable as the mains are in public right-of-way. There will be 24 gas services and 10 water services connected to the new mains at an estimated cost of $93,000 and $28,000, respectively.
4. 100083001074 - $170,000 - Replace underground piping cathodic protection system at Platte South. The cathodic protection system that inhibits corrosion to the steel piping under and adjacent to the Platte South Treatment Plant was installed in 1974, is not operating effectively and is in need of replacement. A professional services study was performed by Lake Superior Consulting, which recommended replacement of the existing
E0121328
Approved
cathodic protection system, as the original system lacks the required power output to properly protect the existing piping according to current standards. Management is recommending, with approval of this expenditure, that Lake Superior Consulting be retained to provide the necessary material resources and oversight to replace the existing cathodic protection system. Approval of this capital expenditure approves the sourcing of the project to Lake Superior Consulting.
5. 100051001028 and 100065001584 - $60,000 - Replace 36-inch butterfly valve, 30th and Binney Streets. This valve is inoperable and failed in an unknown position. The valve was installed in 1983 and repair parts are no longer available.
BUILDINGS, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT
1. 100084001220 - $100,000 - SUPPLEMENTAL RATIFICATION - Line stop fittings and valves, 117th Propane Air Plant main shaft building. The original expenditure request of $130,000, approved in September 2017, was based upon an initial estimate by WSP USA. The additional costs of the project, which was completed in May of 2018, can be attributed to an unforeseen propane leak and the project taking longer than expected due to unanticipated complexity in a very tight and congested space. Additional work included removing the concrete floor in order to make space for welding, and longer than expected purging of the space was required in order to keep the environment in a safe, non-flammable working condition. Other unexpected factors included severe weather delays, difficulty in performing a line stopping procedure and additional pressure tests that were not originally planned.
2. 100071000689 - $105,000 - Replace existing piping and fittings for lime transfer line, Platte West. Due to internal erosion and abrasion, one of the two pneumatic lime unloading lines at the Platte West Treatment Plant has deteriorated and needs to be repaired. Sections of piping and numerous fittings used on this line are different from the second transfer line, which has not experienced similar degradation. The damaged sections of the existing line will be replaced with pipe and fittings similar to those on the undamaged line.

METROPOLITAN UTILITIES DISTRICT Inter-Department Communication
October 15, 2018
Subject: AMENDMENT NO. 1 - Florence Water Treatment Plant - Engineering Services for the Phase Ill Chemical Building Architectural , Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, and Process Improvements
To: Committee on Construction and Operations cc: all Board Members, Doyle, Mendenhall, Reisner, Schneider, Ausdemore,
Stanley and all Vice Presidents
From: Michael A. Koenig, Director - Water Production & Pumping
On April 5th, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the President to enter into an
agreement with HOR Engineering, Inc. for professional engineering services for the design, bid and construction phase services for the Florence Water Treatment Plant Chemical Building Renovation Project. This letter is to request an amendment to the existing agreement. Additional services, not included in the original scope of work, are being requested. A summary of these services, which have been completed, is detailed below:
• Addition of a replacement generator for the Chemical Building. This item was included in the capital budget, however the design of the replacement was not a part of the original scope of services for this project. As design progressed, the additional electrical load on the building for the process and mechanical improvements required a larger generator to be designed and coordinated with the other scoped building electrical upgrades.
• Relocation of the pre-sedimentation basin electrical service from the Chemical Building to the pre-sedimentation basins. Electrical work that was originally planned for future pre-sedimentation basin renovation projects is being done now in conjunction with the Chemical Building renovations. The pre-sedimentation basins electrical service is currently interconnected with the Chemical Building electrical service and needs to be separated under this project to avoid purchasing expendable equipment and costly rework in the future .
Additionally under this item, the Pre-sedimentation effluent flow meter control lines were rerouted, and lights and receptacles replaced.
• Replacement of additional roofing. After the design commenced, it was determined the existing nine-year old roofs above the lab additions and track bay needed to be replaced. Heavy construction will occur adjacent to these roofs and subject them to higher than normal traffic. Also, because the existing heating and air conditioning equipment, and process and dust collection systems will be removed and the new equipment placed in different locations, a mixture of patches will further degrade the existing roof. Finally, code compliance requires a secondary overflow drain to be retrofitted into the roof which will require the installation of additional drain baskets and piping cut into the roof which will further compromise its integrity.
E0121328
Approved
• Separation of the sanitary and storm sewers. During design it was discovered that the sanitary and storm sewers for the chemical building were connected. Separation of the sanitary and the storm sewers was required by code, including a new separate connection to the City of Omaha's sanitary sewer main located just west of the property.
• Inclusion of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This effort was not anticipated as part of the original scope, but became necessary due to the additional areas impacted by the unexpected sanitary sewer separation and additional electrical work listed above.
In addition to the design related changes listed above, Sodium Permanganate is now being used for zebra mussel control, requiring a feed point at the river intakes. The best path forward was to delete the Sodium Permanganate system from the Chemical Building which included an adjustment of the adjacent lime system to allow additional space for operation and maintenance of the lime equipment. These adjustments include more working space around the lime aging tanks, lime feed pumps and electrical control panels.
This amendment also includes additional fees to account for increased construction phase services. These services include review of additional shop drawings and assistance with answering contractor questions that come up during construction that are related to the design. Although the District provides a resident inspector to minimize these charges, a certain amount of construction-related assistance is required.
The original agreement was for $1,329,100 and included as part of a $1,750,000 expenditure approved at the April 5th Board Meeting. Amendment No. 1, in the amount of $292,900, will increase the contract amount to $1,622,000, which represents a 22% increase. Your approval of Amendment No. 1 is requested.

WCM Main ‐ Water Construction Mains
WCI Main ‐ Water Cast Iron Main Replacement (Infrastructure)
WCR Main ‐ Water Construction Relocation
WCC Main ‐ Water Construction Contract
WCD Main ‐ Water Construction Developer
WCP Main ‐ Water Construction Pioneer Main
Water main extensions for which installation is contracted by a developer, and District costs are reimbursed.
A pioneer approach main is a main connected to the existing distribution system where adequate capacity is available to meet the requirements of the applicant, and is sized to provide service to the applicant and adjacent areas. It extends to the far end of the property/development to be served. The developer contributes to the cost of these mains.
Construction is necessary for improvement and betterment of the system and may or may not make service available to an unserved area. All costs are borne by the District but are recovered through connection charges/impact fees.
Replacement of cast iron infrastructure mains.
A relocation job required because of a highway, bridge or sewer construction project that involves distances greater than 25 feet. Relocation of less than 25 feet is maintenance, and charged to expense (and therefore, not reflected in the capital budget).
The extension of a main that is requested by a customer; District costs are reimbursed by the "requestor".
