Final Payment and Release of <br />Retainage for Bid No. 2024003 Central Wastewater Treatment Facility Generator & <br />ATS Replacement & Consolidation, IRCDUS Project ID 22.20.525 <br />BACKGROUND <br />Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) owns and operates the Central Regional <br />Wastewater Treatment Facility (CRWWTF) which has a four (4) million gallons per day (MGD) annual average <br />permitted capacity. The CRWWTF had two (2) standby generators for emergency backup power to maintain <br />operations during primary power loss events. An evaluation of the existing generators conducted by Kimley- <br />Horn and Associates Inc. (KHA) concluded that the generators had "reached the end of their useful life and <br />replacement is necessary". <br />Based on the KHA evaluation results and recommendations, IRCDUS undertook the CRWWTF Generator & <br />Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Replacement & Consolidation project (IRCDUS Project ID 22.20.525). On <br />November 8, 2022, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Work Order No. <br />56 to KHA, pursuant to the Continuing Consulting Engineering Services Agreement for Professional Services <br />dated April 17, 2018, to prepare design documents, assist with bidding, and provide construction phase <br />services. <br />On September 26, 2023, the BCC approved the award of Bid 2024003 to Lawrence Lee Construction Services, <br />Inc. for the replacement of the Main Electrical Building stand-by generator system, and the demolishing the <br />Solids Handling Building stand-by generator system. The contract price was $2,190,000.00, which included an <br />allowance of $150,000.00 for owner -directed changes. On November 9, 2023, Lawrence Lee Construction <br />Services, Inc. was provided notice to proceed (NTP) that set the contract final completion date on March 3, <br />2025. On January 2, 2025, Work Change Directive No.I was approved to add Programmable Logic Controller <br />(PLC) Ethernet communications improvements, demolition of equipment, and building improvements, utilizing <br />$52,070.36 of owner allowance (i.e., no change in contract price). <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 3 Printed on 4/17/2025 <br />powered by Legistarl� 204 <br />
