L26132.A1 – Approve an amending ordinance to Ordinance 2017-0674, approved on August 30, 2017, to increase the maximum contract amount from $4,643,068.04 to $5,403,835.05 for contract number 4600014444 between the City of Houston and Denali Water Solutions LLC for onsite water treatment and sludge dewatering and disposal services for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an amending ordinance to increase the maximum contract amount from $4,643,068.04 to $5,403,835.05 for the contract between the City of Houston and Denali Water Solutions LLC for onsite water treatment and sludge dewatering and disposal services for Houston Public Works.
The contract was awarded on August 30, 2017, by ordinance number 2017-0674 for a three-year term, with two one-year options to renew in the amount of $4,643,068.04. Expenditures as of December 29, 2021 totaled $4,508,067.43. Spending authority has been exhausted earlier than anticipated due to an increase in wet hauling, caused by substantial changes in raw water quality. Wet hauling is more expensive due to the dense volume of the material to empty the thickeners. In such water quality events, the thickeners need to be emptied by wet hauling due to settleability issues with solids. Therefore, an increase to the maximum contract amount is needed to ensure that these services continue through the end of the contract term. All other terms and conditions shall remain as previously approved by City Council.
The Scope of work requires the contractor to furnish all supervision, labor, parts, tools, materials, equipment, supplies, and transportation necessary to perform all operations and maintenance functions of the sludge dewatering system at the Southeast Water Purification Plant (SEWPP).
MWBE Participation:
This contract was awarded with a 24% MWBE participation goal and Denali Water Solutions LLC is currently achieving 25.8% of the required MWBE goal.
Fiscal Note:
Funding for this item is included in the FY2022 Adopted Budget. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
