Consent Item <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: October 31, 2022 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Through: Richard Meckes, Operations Manager <br />Prepared By: Michael Loveday, Wastewater Superintendent <br />Subject: Central Wastewater Treatment Facility Generator Replacement Engineering <br />Descriptions and Conditions: <br />Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) operates the Central Wastewater Treatment <br />Facility (CWWTF) located at 3550 49th Street. CWWTF currently operates two (2) standby generators, <br />which are a carryover from the past when the CWWTF 49th Street site consisted of a Residuals Dewatering <br />Facility (RDF) and the current CWWTF. <br />The generators have reached the end of their useful life and replacement is necessary. The purpose of this <br />project is to consolidate the emergency backup power for the facility and reduce the redundancy of <br />maintenance required for two emergency power systems. Kimley-Horn and Associates (KHA) engineering <br />firm was contacted to provide IRCDUS with an evaluation on consolidating the emergency generators. The <br />evaluation provided the following recommendations for the CWWTF generators: <br />• Eliminate the existing 365 kW generator from the old RDF <br />• Replace the existing 1000 kW generator with a new appropriately sized unit to provide emergency <br />power for the entire site <br />• Replace the two (2) existing automatic transfer switches (ATS) with new units <br />• Replace the day tank and generator exhaust <br />• Make structural modifications to facilitate replacement and reconfigure the site so that one <br />generator will power the entire site <br />KHA will provide services for the preparation of design documents for the proposed improvements, assist <br />with bidding of the proposed improvements, and provide construction phase services. <br />Funding: <br />Replacement of the CWWTF generators is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 operating budget for the <br />amount of $158,696.00 in the Utilities/WIP/CWWTF Generator Replacement account, number 471- <br />169000-20525, in the Utilities operating fund. Utilities operating funds are generated from water and <br />sewer revenues, and operating capital items are paid from the fund balance. <br />F:\Utilities\00_UTI1_ITY -AGENDA TEMPLATE & GUI DELI NES\2022 Agenda Items\110822 BCC Agenda Items\KHA Central Generators\Agend� <br />Central Generator Consolidation.doa <br />
