Exhibit 1 - Agenda Information SheetCity of Denton _____________________________________________________________________________________ AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Procurement ACM: Cassey Ogden DATE: January 9, 2024 SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with C&C Environmental Services, Inc., for the removal, replacement, and inspection of filter media at the Ray Roberts Water Treatment Plant for the Water Production Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFP 8355 – awarded to C&C Environmental Services, Inc., for three (3) years, with the option for two (2) additional one (1) year extensions, in the total five (5) year not-to-exceed amount of $1,224,000.00). STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility. INFORMATION/BACKGROUND The Water Production Treatment Facilities utilize large filters to clean and produce high-quality water as a key part of the treatment process. Filters typically are constructed of a box-like structure, containing media (sand and anthracite coal), and an underdrain. The media acts as a barrier against suspended particles in the water, and the underdrain serves to collect the filtered water for the next process. The Ray Roberts Water Treatment Plant has eight (8) filters that have media that is over twenty (20) years old, and underdrains that are equipped with an obsolete component referred to as a cap. Runtime on filters has significantly decreased in the past five (5) years, which has led to an inherent risk of losing treatment capability. Measurements in the quality of the media, such as size and depth, coupled with the age of the media, indicated that replacement of the media is overdue. Replacement of media within filters is a common practice that should occur every ten (10) to twenty (20) years for a treatment facility as the small particles of media begin to lose their surface area and become less effective. Considering the state of the filter media, the obsolete equipment of the underdrain, advances in treatment technology, and the process of media replacement, the recommendation is to replace the media with adequate amounts of sand and granular activated carbon (GAC), replace the underdrain caps with the modern equivalent, and have a manufacturer inspection. GAC will replace the anthracite coal portion of the media to match the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant’s filters and offer more filter capabilities. Without action, the treatment plant risks losing or a significant reduction in treatment capacity. Replacement of media across all eight (8) filters is open to three (3) years with options for two (2) additional years depending on the availability of the plant to shut down and allow the work to be performed.
