RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners approve and authorize the attached Work <br />Authorization to DSS Engineers, Inc. to perform the aforementioned <br />work. The cost of each item is as follows: <br />1) W.O. #06a - $8,000.00 <br />2) W.O. #18 - $2,500.00 <br />3) W.O. #07a -$19,586.00. <br />WFM:h <br />Attachments <br />Chairman Scurlock realized that most of this is to rectify <br />some of the problems we had in the original design of that plant, <br />but noted that this does not address the storage capacity <br />problem. <br />Utilities Director Terry Pinto explained that part of the <br />scope of work was to look at elevating the elevated tank, which <br />was built almost 25 feet lower than it probably should have been <br />in the original design by Sverdrup & Parcel. He felt we can live <br />without doing that for almost 2 years because some time ago we <br />put in an altitude valve and found a way to do the necessary <br />circulation. In addition, we are going to modify a clear well <br />that is in the center of the 2.5 gpd storage tank. That is a <br />part of the general contracting work, and it will allow us to <br />pick up another410o to 15% storage in the original tank. One <br />other thing that may take place at some future time is the <br />upgrading of the high service pumps, because the present size of <br />these pumps does not allow them to fill, the tanks completely. <br />MAR 2 2 1988 <br />37 <br />BOOK • 71 EAGE3 6 <br />
